Mutton Keema Pao

Hello Friends,
               Keema pav is a famous recipe from Mumbai. I tried this recipe in one of the famous restaurant in Bangalore at the time of Diwali and decided to try it at home.
Restaurant was little oily and spicy so I decided to make my own version with less oil and less spicy.
Sharing the recipe with you all, hope you all will like my version :)

Soya Chunks (mealmaker) Manchurian Dry

Hi Friends,
             
                Soya bean is rich in Protein, Vegans can substitute Soya chunks with meat. Soya nuggets provide good amount of vitamins, minerals, fibre for growing kids. As it is one of the best source of Omega-3 fatty acids so it helps in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease as well.

Soya bean is available in many forms like nuggets, small chunks and granules. You can make soya in any form like curry, soya keema, dry soya peas, soya chunks with potato (gravy) etc etc......
