HOW TO MAKE A SOYA

MEAT(NUTRELA)

STIR FRY.

Part stir-fry, part devilled, we are turning regular soya chunks(Nutrela, mealmaker) into a delicious curry with a thick sauce.

A devilled soya chunk/Nutrela is the best way to serve these veggie protein chunks. 

The devilled Soya chunk curry is a little different to the Sri Lankan soya/soy meat curry you’ve made so far.  

It’s spicy and the soya chunks/Nutrela are smothered in a regular devilled coconut-based sauce. 

If you are on the lookout for an appetizer or starter that both meat lovers and vegetarian would love then treat them to this spicy devilled soya chunk stir-fry.

One of the best reasons to make this soya chunk devil curry is that the dish suits any type of diet.

So have this recipe in hand to make for any unexpected guests with special diets.

HOW TO SERVE SOYA

You can serve the vegetarian curry as a substitute for your rice and curry menu.

Serve it in a platter with a few torn pieces of tortilla, roti or naan as a starter to your friends.

Soya chunks/Nutrela, once boiled are like little sponges that soak in the spices and flavor of the sauce or gravy you cook the soya in.

So make sure to make the best curry sauce for this stir-fry and you will not be disappointed.

Utensils and appliances needed.

How many packs of soya nuggets should I use?

I have tried to get away with making one pack of soya meat/Nutrela pack but it never works. 

The kids and family tend to eat them as bites once lunch is done so I stick to two packs.

Should I use the sachets that come with the soya nuggets?

You can make this soya chunk devil curry without the sachets but you can use the sachets for added flavor if you want. 

Just make sure the flavors don’t become too much for the young ones.

Which is the best brand of soya would you recommend?

If you are in Sri Lanka, I would highly recommend the pack that has a pink edging on their packaging.

If you are overseas I would say Nutrela which you can purchase through Amazon. 

How can I make this recipe for kids?

Making devilled soya chunk curry kid-friendly is extremely easy. Just reduce the amount of chilli powder and avoid adding green chillies.

By tasting the curry as you make it you can adapt the recipe to a mildly-spiced version of soya curry.
