3 quick ways to cook them

Boil the chunks for 5 minutes (or soak them in hot water), squeeze out the water, then cook. They take on the flavour of whatever you cook them in, so use them wherever you would use paneer.

• Soya pulao: stir the squeezed chunks into rice with whole spices and peas. 50 g of dry chunks adds 26 g of protein to the pot.
• Soya keema or bhurji: the small pieces already look like keema, so sauté them with onion, tomato and green chilli the way you would make paneer bhurji.
• Soya chunks curry: drop them into any aloo or paneer gravy for the last 10 minutes.

FAQ

How do I cook soya mini chunks?

Boil them for about 5 minutes or soak them in hot water, then squeeze them dry before adding to a gravy, pulao or stir-fry. Boiling first also takes away the slightly beany taste.

How much soya should I eat in a day?

Common dietitian guidance is 25 to 50 g of dry chunks a day for adults, with the rest of your protein from dal, dairy or eggs.

Are these soya chunks vegan and gluten-free?

Yes. The only ingredient is soy flour, so there is no dairy, egg or wheat in the pack.
