Soya Roast Recipe | Kerala Style Soya Chunks Dry Roast – Soya Roasted with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Ghee roast or spicy dry starter recipes are South Indian cuisine specialties. These are generally served as side dishes to most lunch or dinner recipes, but not limited to it. Basically serving it as a simple evening snack is its main use case. One such easy and simple dry roast curry is Kerala Style Soya Roast known for its spicy and flavored masala paste.
As I was explaining earlier, this recipe is very much inspired by the meat or chicken, mutton roast recipe. As a matter of fact, the spice masala is exactly the same as the meat counterpart. Basically, the spice mix used for meat starters is typically loaded with spice heat and this recipe carries the same. Even the soya chunks have the same texture as meat and hence the masala easily blends with it. Also, the recipe is typically served as a starter but can be a fantastic side dish with Indian bread, especially the parotta. I personally avoid the soya chunks recipes, but certainly not this spicy recipe. I make this masala and use it for various other hero ingredients like mushrooms, paneer, and even soya cubes. Do try this once and let me know your thoughts on this.
