Family is most important in our life; always we would like to serve them very healthy and nutritious food. Soya chunks are one of the best protein foods in vegetarian menu. It is very good for those passing through pre menopausal phase. Dietitian advised them to add soya chunks daily in their diet. Keeping those in my mind, I prepared this recipe.
Here I used milk and fresh cream that brings the smooth and creamy texture to the recipe and gives highly pleasing taste and aroma. It increases nutritional value too. Cook the recipe and don’t forget to write me. Enjoy the recipe…
