Last day of second week of blogging marathon # 56, I choose Soya chaap curry from Punjabi food. For this soya chaap curry, you have to cook the fried chaps or roasted chaps in onion tomato gravy. Even you can add cream or full cream milk in this gravy for richness and thick consistency gravy. If you also calorie conscious just like me, so avoid cream in this recipe.
As my husband belongs to Punjabi region, he loves soya chaap gravies, roasted tandoori chaap and more chaap recipes. So I preferred to cook Soya chaap curry as a dinner meal with fermented roti or you can say khamiri roti. For khamiri roti, just knead the dough with 1 tsp. of yeast and keep aside for 1-2 hours for proofing.
