Dry Soya Bean Kurma | Soya Recipes

As we all know soya is good for health and dry soya bean is no exception.   I have to finish my packet of soya bean before it expires so made this kurma for weekend lunch along with cabbage stir fry and some fryums.  I had this idea from my multi beans kurma recipe.  This recipe easy to prepare, only thing is make sure to allow 1-2 extra whistles for soya as it’s takes long time to cook.  I wanted to take step vise pictures but that day I was doing extreme multi tasking so couldn’t take pictures, but it’s pretty straight forward recipe to follow.  For variations you can add any other beans of your choice and make it same way.
