    Can I skip the marination?

    Marinated soya gives the best flavor. I would highly recommend at least one hour of marination if you have time. 

    Always saute marinated soya in low flame

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

    Can I skip biryani masala

    You can prepare homemade biryani masala but I have used Aachi biryani masala. Adjust the masala according to your taste but don't skip it. 

    Rice for Soya chunks briyani

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

    Should I soak rice?

    I didn't soak rice. Used 1:2 water and cooked for 2 whistles. Based on your rice soak if required

    can I use oil for cooking?

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

    Side dish for biryani

    Biryani goes well with raita varieties,gutti vankaya kura, kathirikai chops, plain kurma,  mirchi salan, and raita
