Mixed vegetables in a red tomato-based gravy, this is a delicious low cal subzi with the goodness of lots of veggies and nutrient-filled soya chunks. It is not very apt to use whole soya chunks in Subzis as they look too big, and not all would like to eat big chunks… hence, chop them so that the subzi will look good, and it will also suit everybody's taste. This korma is rich in vitamin A and folic acid as it has carrots, coriander, tomatoes etc. Further, I've also used less oil and low fat milk and cream to curb the excess calories. Healthy and nutritious for all age groups, you can even include this as part of your daily meals!

Even the humble soya chunks become royal when floated atop a rich "Shahi" white gravy. Drain out the water and also the foam that forms on top of the onions and cashew mix when cooking as the flavour will be spoilt if you keep the foam on.

Soya vegetable medley, a tongue-tingling, spicy vegetable dish, which makes you feel stronger thanks to the immunity boost that the protein-rich soya chunks proffer! besides soya, coconut milk is also a good source of proteins; however it is high in fat too, making this an apt dish for athletes and others who want to build their muscles.

There is a marathi word called 'zhanzanit' that describes this dish perfectly… the method of cooking and the thoughtful combination of spices give this particular recipe a fantastic texture and taste. I warn you it is tough to stop eating this subzi once you start. Serve with phulkas or soya puris and you will realize this is what they mean by bliss!

A lovely subzi recipe from West Bengal. Big cubes of potatoes are deep-fried and mixed with marinated soya chunks. Irresistible, really! I have used soya milk and curds to marinate the chunks. Soya milk is easily available these days in different flavours; however for the subzi make sure you use unsweetened plain soya milk.

A scrumptious subzi that is also very simple to make! Green peas and soya chunks come together in an all-new style! Most of the preparations can be done well in advance, so you can whip this dish together in a jiffy! Boiled onion paste and tomato puree can be made and stored in the refrigerator to be used as required. Boiled onion paste imparts a good flavour and reduces the cooking time. A dash of cream adds a royal touch; feel free to add 2 to 3 tablespoons if you want it richer! Relish with roti or steaming hot rice.

Mixed vegetables and soya in a coconut based gravy a very thoughtful combination indeed! The dish can be cooked in very little time as all the veggies added are pre-cooked. Make sure the tomatoes are cooked well; otherwise the coconut milk will curdle.

Soya bean bhaji or nutrela, soya chunks based subji serve with roti or with plain parathas.
