Notes
You can deep fry the soya chunks after coating them with cornflour. The process will be quicker and give crunchier soya chunks.I wanted to use less oil, so I roasted the chunks.Add the crispy soya chunks in gravy just when you are ready to serve it. Once added to the gravy, they will start to soak it up and become soggy.If planning to make it for a party, keep the gravy and fried chunks ready. Once you are ready to serve, fry the chunks again quickly in very hot oil and add in the hot gravy.You can increase or decrease the amount of chilli and sauces according to your taste preference.You can make a mix of Soya Gobi Manchurian or Soya Baby Corn Manchurian as well.
