I wanted to try Soya chunks Biryani for a long time but my behind thoughts never let me to…..as having tried quite a few soya chunks recipes, I always had a doubt of how well the soya will blend with the biryani masala…..so hence the delay. Now I know this biryani will sure be in our menu often, this can easily fit in your kids lunch box too. This is healthy, nutritious and sure a yum biryani combo. I wanted to make biryani just with soya chunks but if you prefer you can add other vegetables with the biryani too.

Pin Expert Tips
Adding shahi jeera gives a nice unique flavour. But if you dont have it, just go ahead with normal jeera(cumin seeds). Soya chunks by itself is totally bland so the spices and masalas should be dominating to give it a nice blend. You can garnish with coriander leaves too at the finish.
