    Hi Namitha,

    Thanks a lot for trying ‘chicken chettinad’! So you made your hus flat! :)

    In fact, I have no soya chunks recipes in my draft. And I am sorry to say that I am not keeping well these days. I will make soya chunks curry and post it once I am well. Please bear with me and do try my other recipes in the mean time.

    with love,
    Lissie
