Soya Granules Sabzi

A few years ago I tasted a soya dish & disliked it instantly. I vowed never to eat it again. Sometime back I was flipping through my favourite author Sanjeev Kapoor’s recipe book and stumbled upon the recipe of the Soya Granules Sabzi which I thought I should try since I had a box of Nutrela Soya Granules lying around without a purpose (I tend to randomly buy boxes with interesting packaging at the supermarket 😛 ). The outcome was surprisingly tasty & its something I keep making for breakfast at least twice a month as it goes very well with chapathis. My husband who was terrified at the thought of having ‘soya’ for breakfast is not complaining anymore!

 

I personally feel that this dish is a very good substitute for the scrambled eggs (egg burji) and I was able to demonstrate this to my dear husband by serving some to a guest recently & passing the dish off as ‘scrambled eggs’. After two morsels my guest was surprised to note that it was soya & not eggs :). What’s different about this dish is that instead of soaking the soya in water, you need to soak it in warm milk with a pinch of salt. This gives a nice creamy texture to the granules and adds to its taste.
