Known as "soya vantalu" or "protein pulao", it’s popular among vegetarians and health-conscious families. In Andhra and Telangana, this dish is often paired with pachadi (pickle) or perugu (curd). 🍽️ Serving Suggestions: Serve hot with onion raita or tomato chutney. Add a side of papad or fryums for crunch. Ideal for lunchboxes, picnics, or light dinners. 🧊 Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of water to retain moisture. Avoid freezing as soya chunks may turn rubbery. 📢 Like, Share & Subscribe!
