Soya chunks became part of our family after my mom successfully tested this very recipe during one of our lent period (abstinence from non veg items) and after looking at the glimpse of the dish, we all just gave a scream thinking it's a non veg recipe in our lent and wondered what's gone wrong with mom.And still mom kept her silence...me & my sis were eagerly craving for chicken those days (that happens to me always when you say not to eat this/not to do that, we crave for that more, Isn't it??) we just gobbled up few of these and then sipped in a glass of water, ah..I still remember it as chicken, but only later did I come to know the wonder vegan meat was soya chunks, and that's how this became part of our menu more during the lent period.So, friends enjoy this proteinaceous healthy stir-fry with rice or as snack.!!
