Power of Soy

I have become a big fan of Soy the simple power food can very easily be incorporated into many South Indian dishes. Here are some of my experiments. The first and my most favourite is SoyaBean Parupu usili. If you know the recipie , just substitute Soya Bean for thuvaran paruppu. The dish has a nutty flavout and comes out a lot crispier with less frying. The following recipe has all north american ingredients you can get easly from a super market.
