Simple Soya Chunk Roast

There are a lot of vegetarians and vegans who prefer plant-based food and avoid non-veg for health reasons. At the same time, many people who follow a non-vegetarian diet also choose to go vegetarian occasionally. And that’s where soya chunks come in-they bridge the gap between both worlds.

From the first time I tasted them, soya chunks have been on my favourites list. I usually enjoy them with chapati, roti, dosa, and sometimes as a side dish for lunch too. It’s often cooked just like beef, and the taste is quite close to beef roast as well.

Soya can be prepared in many different ways-you’ll find a few of them here.

In this recipe, I’m sharing a simple and quick method, made with ready-made masala powder. But I always recommend using freshly ground meat masala-it really enhances the flavour.

The Healthy Soya Chunks !

Soya chunks are one of the best plant-based protein options out there. They’re loaded with protein, low in fat, and completely cholesterol-free-so definitely a good pick for anyone trying to eat healthy. I love that they’re also high in fiber, which helps with digestion and keeps things running smooth. Because of the protein content, they’re great for muscle building too, especially if you’re into workouts or gym. They have isoflavones, which are known to help lower bad cholesterol and support heart health. Also, they’re rich in calcium, iron, and other minerals that are good for your bones. For women, soya is also said to help with hormonal balance, especially around menopause. Just make sure to cook them properly-never eat raw soya chunks. And if you have thyroid issues, better to keep it in moderation. Otherwise, soya is a great choice to add variety and nutrition to your meals!

So let’s get started!
