Soya Chunks Alu Curry

Soya Nuggets is an excellent source of proteins for vegetarians and also has a meaty texture which adds the extra liking at my place.I include it in all possible ways like curries, gravies, pulav's, tikki's, pasta,manchurian, snacks etc.When I add soya nuggets to any dish,I make it extra spicy and masaledar as these soya nuggets when soaked absorb all the flavors make it more tastier.It also comes to rescue to me when I am out of vegetables or lack of time.I do it in pressure cooker which helps in saving lot of time and attention while cooking.I make it in a very similar manner like how I make alu mutter,just that I add soaked soya nuggets to it.It pairs wonderfully with rice/pulav and roti's and now let us peek how I make this curry.Ingredients:
