I love the texture and taste of soya granules or chunks, both has such a amazing texture that they can take almost any flavor and make your dish delicious. For vegetarians, its nice way to added protein in their diet and its gives that texture of meat too so non vegetarian turning vegetarian will have that satisfaction too that they are eating meat kind of texture. Otherwise also you can make it anything and everything with soya, from tikkis to sauces , from curries to Indo Chinese. Today I am making Chorizo and soya granules both khema style, It's perfect for weeknight dinner and cooks fast and perfect with rice or roti. For better taste always soaked soya granules in milk, water works too but milk is much much better. You can take either chorizo or soya granules and make it, I made it with both ingredients two separate dishes, so sharing here both. Chorizo is a Mexican Sausage , you have to cut it and use the soya part in it , it's heavily flavor with spices and sodium so I didn't add salt when I was making dish with chorizo. Recipe is same for both, only the main ingredients are different.
