Soya-bean-dry-curry
My MIL made this once for me and I was surprised when I knew it was soya bean. Then every time when I go to Chennai,my MIL has a pack of this dry soya bean to pass it to me. I make this curry just like her or make it as a simple sundal with no onion or garlic. Love it either way and eat as such … I make this when I run out of veggies and the job gets easily done in the early morning,if you soak overnight, morning just have to pressure cook in a separate vessel when we keep rice and no cutting veggie part,we can easily make an accompaniment for rice. Club this with any rasam so its a perfect, comfort lunch box idea!!

Notes

  • You can also try making the simple way like we do other sundals too..
  • This masala we grind is very very flavorful,while you grind you can smell it ,the whole house would smell while you make this curry!

Serve as accompaniment for rice or enjoy as such!!

    Soy beans are healthy for sure. Mom used to make normal sundal kind but this is quite intersting. Will try your way when I get soy beans next time 🙂

    Any curry receipe needs to take care of salt, sweetness, sourness n pungency but this receipe turns out flat. Moreover, for strong flavours of species, they need to be roasted. Pls check if you have missed out on any of these.

      I always make it this way, with many vegetables too. If you salt it right, it’s gonna be fine. Also the masalas are roasted as they get cooked and I have written in last step to cook until the masala starts turning brown. So please try again, you will like it.
