Soya Chunks Bhurji/Soya Matar Bhurji



For the day 2 recipe themed under bhurji recipe in BM# 62 is a healthy and protein packed soya chunks bhurji.
Soya chunks are a great alternate for chicken and its a good source of proteins.Though the soya chunks has an unpleasant smell and bland taste,with proper spices it tastes delicious.
Originally the bhurji is made with the soya granules,if not it can be made with the chunks.
Coming to the recipe I used the regular soya chunks and pulsed the cooked chunks in a blender to get a bhurji consistency.Also used some frozen green peas to make it colorful and tasty.This bhurji pairs well with rice and roti as well as stuffing for parathas and sandwich.
We had it with the store bought laccha paratha for our weekend brunch along with masala tea,it was so filling.
