Biriyani is the all time favorite dish of we Indians. Biriyani will be there in most of the Indian homes weekend menu. I have posted many kinds of biriyani recipes like Chicken Biriyani,Special Malabar Dum Biriyani,Egg Biriyani and Fish Biriyani. This time I made a special biriyani with Soya chunks/Meal maker. As you all know well about the health benefits of soya chunks. It is the power pack of protein and is very good for kids. Soya chunks are quick and easy to cook. Amazingly soya chunks have protein content equal to that of the meat and contain no fat. They are nutritious meat extender made from defatted soy flour, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. The protein or any other nutrient in granules and chunks is not lost on washing them or by throwing away the water in which they are soaked.
