Soya bean is a healthy legume, that is less used in south Indian households in cooking. I myself heard and tasted this one when my MIL made this once after marriage. It was really delicious and from then onwards I started buying this one. You can try this now for a change as it is Navaratri golu time. This year too I am missing Kolu as I am on a holiday. I gave this recipe for sakthi Vikatan last year and thought of sharing this simple one for Navaratri 2016.
