Soya Bean Masala is a simple gravy main course dish. This protein rich dish is quick and easy to make. You can pair it with roti, paratha or any rice dish. Soya has a tendency to absorb any flavor that it is cooked with and hence requires more spices to make it flavourful. Soya bean masala is quite delicious, filling as well as nutritious.
Soybeans are an exceptional source of essential nutrients, providing high contents of protein, dietary fiber, iron, manganese, phosphorus and several B vitamins, including folate. Soy is a good source of protein, amongst many others, for vegetarians and vegans or for people who want to reduce the amount of meat they eat.
