This is one of my favourite Indo-Chinese recipes. This chilli soyabean has also two variants. But the dry variant is more famous than the gravy version of soya chilli. Making the procedure is also more simple than other Indo-Chinese dishes.
Today I make the Chilli Soya Gravy. If you go through this recipe carefully, you can also able to make the dry variant. The dry version of chilli soya chunks is served as a party starter. But the gravy version of soyabean chilli is served as a side dish with all kinds of fried rice or Indian bread.
Have you read my previous recipes about chilli chicken and chilli paneer? If so, this recipe may be the easiest recipe for you. Because this recipe is almost like other Indo-Chinese recipes that are easily available in all Indian street food stalls. And this recipe is more similar to chilli chicken gravy recipe that I published about 2 years ago.
