Soya chunks - tips to remember

• Squeezing the soya chunks well helps with absorbing the flavor

What kind of vegetables should I use?

I have used avarakkai, but brinjal, drumstick, and potato are other tasty options for soya chunk poriyal. soya curry tastes good with just garlic, onion, and tomato, without any additional vegetables

Can I skip sambar powder?

Yes, instead of sambar powder you can use chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and pepper powder

Consistency of the curry

If you are serving as a side dish cook, till the water absorbs and the curry looks semi-dry. If you are serving it as a rice accompaniment, cook it in a gravy consistency

Fennel seeds give amazing flavor to the Curry, so add according to your taste.

Serving suggestion
