@Jane: I'm sure it tastes good, however, depends on perspective whether its healthy or not. In the paleo world, soya is avoided like the plague ;)

tasted really good!!!... the only issue was the smell of the soya :( i just couldn't take it so added a few cinnamon sticks and cloves while cooking...:)

I bet Cherian gets to eat a completely different meal each day! When are we invited?

@Jane chechi : I sauted it for a long time, my soy never turned black..why so ?

7

@Gomathy, As required, add bit of oil in between.. It will definitely turn black.

The image of this dish only did the trick.. I plan to prepare it today. Can you elaborate further on the process of marinating. When you say marinate, do we have to mix spices in the water or ..

9

You don't need to add water while mariantion. Before marination, we just squeeze out water from soya chunks. So soya chunks will be bit wet.

HiJane. I tried this recipe yesterday. Although the outcome was tasty and chikenish, it didnt attain the black color as there in the pic. Also, its after-chewing-taste was a little bitter because i used ginger in excess. All in all, a nice dish..

Thanks for the recipe, Jane. It came out really well :-)

Jane- the recipe was grt- i loved it and the outcome superb. Good work gurl- keep it up :):):)

Shikha, To get the black color, add oil and saute it for longer time. Thanks Aparna and Michelle :)

I soaked the chunks in vegetable stock rather than water the second time, which gave them a fuller flavour, and took away some of the soya-ey flavour. Excellent recipe though - I bet I'll be making it again and again.

Thanks Keir, I will give a try with vegetable stock.

16

Half a teaspoon of smoked paprika powder at stage 3 is also nice...
