Previously I had posted 3 delicious Soya recipes. Featured here is a vegetable curry which makes use of a generous amount of Soya Chunks. You can pick up a pack of these from a supermarket.

Soya is known for its high protein content; this curry can make for a good side-dish with Rotis.

Soya is one of the richest sources of protein, yet it finds only a small place in Indian cooking. I’m not sure why ; maybe there are fewer Indian recipes that you can make out of Soya. Soya – based dishes can not only be tasty but healthy too! Replace Paneer with Soya chunks or granules (available in most grocery stores) and you can make delicious evening snacks or tantalizing curries for your Rotis.

There are three Soya recipes – Indian style featured here:

1. How to make ‘Indian – Chinese’ Soya Manchurian (an alternative to Gobi Manchurian)

2. Soya Dosa – A healthy dish of this South Indian bread variety

3. Soya in Kofta Curry – Perfect for a weekend menu

Recipes follow below:

Recenlty my cousin was on a trip to Bhuj in Gujarat and was remarking how everything tasted sweet there. I recently tasted a Gujarati dish called Handva which was a baked dish garnished with sesame seeds. This isusually served as a snack in Gujarati cuisine.

Unlike other dishes, this one is not so sweet, but it isn’t spicy either. Curd being the main ingredient along with rice, it tastes a bit sour and has a nice fluffy texture.

I’ve posted a video (courtesy – Show me the Curry) here. Try this and let us know the results.

Note: I’m not the author of this video. I’ve just posted it here for spreading the word on Indian cuisine. The video is about 9 minutes long and may take some time if your internet connection is slow.

Long time no see! I have been having problems with the blog with some spammer / hacker freezing things around. I finally seem to have sorted out that problem by upgrading to the latest version of wordpress.

Ok, that aside, I wanted to search for more recipes to add to the eggless cakes collection. Previously I had posted delicious eggless pineapple cake video from Manjula aunty. This time, the lady-duo from Show me the Curry have created a cake delicacy with dates and walnuts. This can make for a good tea time snack or maybe a weekend try.

Note: This video is not produced by me; I have only shared it with permission from the original authors. The video is about 8 minutes long. If you are on a slow connection, press the play button / pause and let the video load for some time.
