Soya Chunks Curry (Semi gravy)

This is a dish I prepare just for my Dad. Soya chunks is not a favourite in our family, except for my Dad, who loves it :)

It has always been questions in my mind how to prepare soya chunk dishes. I did a lot of google search and could not find any dish that I or my dad would relish. So, I just took a chance in preparing this semi gravy dish and guess what… he loved it and to my surprise, my mum and hubby liked it too… I guarantee, go ahead and prepare this recipe, you and your family will relish the dish.

I would also like to receive some soya chunk recipes from my friends :) :) Pls do send them to me.
