Why soya chunks biryani

Protein-rich soya is less used because of its bland taste, but it makes the dish flavorful if cooked right. A meal maker is a great source of protein for vegetarians. Veg soya chunk biryani is perfect for people who are dieting.

What is special about Dindigul Thalappakatti biryani 

Unique biryani masala makes it so flavorful. Instead of using store-bought masala, I would recommend grinding fresh masala powder.

Mini meal maker

Always use a mini-meal maker as it soaks fast and gives the best flavor for the biryani.

Can I skip onion?

No, it gives a nice flavor so I would recommend 

Can I skip the curd?

Traditionally curd, tomato, and lemon juice are used. It gives amazing flavor to the rice

Delicious soya biryani served in traditional clay pot with side of yogurt and spicy bun.

Always saute curd on low flame

To avoid curdling always saute in low flame. After adding water boil on a medium flame.

Rice for Soya chunks briyani

I have used seeraga samba rice. You can use any variety of rice according to your choice. Adjust water accordingly.

Should I soak rice?

Yes, soaking helps with fast cooking. I would recommend 

can I skip ghee?

yes, you can use just oil. Ghee gives amazing flavor to the biryani so I prefer using it.
