It is cholesterol-free and very appetizing- no matter how you eat it.

If you ask me? I enjoy Soya Chili the most. There are two variations to this, one is the dry variant, and the other is the famous gravy version. It offers a superb combination of spiciness, chewiness, crispiness, and sweetness, making it the perfect snack for any occasion. You could even use them to make soya chunks pulao or soya cutlets.
