Soya bhurji, enjoy this mouth-watering delicacy, brimming with goodness of soya.
Pressure cooking does not require soaking soya granules as it gets cooked with other ingredients. Do not open the lid immediately let it stand for a while so that the granules soak up excess water if any.
It is an easy to make recipe and a very good option for vegetarians to increase their protein intake.
