Excellent recipe.. I cooked it in an instant pot and it turned out perfect. All the spices soaked into the soya chunks. It was served with fresh Roti and curry aloo with spinach.

Tarla Dalal    Hi Pragna, Thanks a lot for sharing your comment. We would not recommend using whole soyabeans as they contain some anti-nutritional factors which are usually removed while processing. Happy Cooking!!
