How to Use

Essential First Step: Rehydrating Soya Chunks

Before cooking, TRS Soya Chunks 500g must be rehydrated. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the soya chunks, and simmer for 5–7 minutes until they swell and become soft. Drain, rinse with cold water, and squeeze out excess moisture firmly with your hands. This step is essential – squeezing out the water allows the chunks to absorb the flavours of your dish more effectively.

Soya Chunk Curry

Heat oil in a pan, add onions, ginger-garlic paste, and tomatoes. Cook until the masala is rich and fragrant. Add your choice of spices (cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric) and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the rehydrated TRS Soya Chunks, stir to coat in the masala, add water or coconut milk, and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Garnish with coriander and serve with rice or roti.

Soya Biryani

Marinate rehydrated TRS Soya Chunks 500g in yogurt, biryani masala, ginger-garlic paste, and salt for 30 minutes. Layer with par-boiled basmati rice, fried onions, saffron milk, and mint. Cook on dum (low heat, sealed pot) for 20–25 minutes for a fragrant, protein-rich vegetarian biryani.

Dry Stir-Fry (Soya Sukka)

Rehydrate and squeeze the chunks, then pan-fry in oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, green chilli, and South Indian spices until lightly browned and crispy on the outside. Serve as a dry side dish with rice and dal for a simple, high-protein meal.

In Wraps, Rolls & Sandwiches

Season rehydrated TRS Soya Chunks with chaat masala, lemon juice, and herbs, then use as a filling for kathi rolls, wraps, or sandwiches. The firm texture holds up well and makes a satisfying, protein-rich meat-free filling.

Storage Tips

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from moisture and direct sunlight. Dried soya chunks have a long shelf life of 12–18 months. Once rehydrated, use immediately or refrigerate and use within 2 days.
