Spicy Soya Keema Matar

Soya keema as the name suggests, is made of minced soya chunks. Cook it the same way you cook Mutton or Chicken Keema. And the result will be finger-licking good.

I am not much of a lover of Soya chunks/granules but when I cook it, I make sure that it is spicy and delicious in every morsel.

So, here is my deliciously Spicy Soya Keema Matar recipe. Though this dish goes well with any Indian flatbread, you can also serve it with Indian Pav and some chopped onions on the side.
