Soya Chunks Keema / Soya Keema Recipe
Keema is popular among meat lovers and is served as a side dish with Roti / Torlilla. This Soya Chunks Keema can also be served as a side dish with roti / chapati.
This recipe is one of my personal favourite. This is an extremely healthy and protein rich recipe so that is a plus as I am trying to loose some weight. I like to prepare this for my breakfast with a roti as it is so rich in protein and it makes a complete meal.
This recipe is a dry version of keema but feel free to add some more water if you want it to be a gravy.
