Hey. Most of you already know that Soybeans/chunks are a great source of protein. But it has much more nutritional value than this. Having Soybeans in your diet will be proven beneficial in many ways.

These are reasons why you should have soybeans in your diet at least twice a week:

1. Soybeans help in relieving sleep.

What are the recipes for soybeans?

1. Soya chunks masala dry
2. Soya chunks curry
3. Soybean Pulao
4. Soybean Manchurian

These four are my favourites of all time. The first one has crunchiness, the second has traditional taste, who doesn't like pulao and the last is the tastiest of all.

I would suggest buying Nutrela soya chunks.

You might think that how could soya can compete with Chicken, meat, and other animal products. But guys this isn't true. People are choosing soya over chicken due to cases of animal cruelty and others rising.

Also, it is much cheaper than chicken or meat. 

My favourite fitness YouTuber Saket Gokhale eats soya every day with pasta. Pasta is carbohydrates rich.

How do you cook soybeans?

Every recipe differs from others but some points which I have noticed to be the same or repeating are very crucial and common though.

• Soak the soybeans for 10 minutes in hot water or soak them overnight.
• Squeeze all the water out from them.
• Fry them if you want. It will make it crispy and golden coloured. 
• Add masala in abundance so that it doesn't smell 'nicely'.
