Soyabean Chap Sticks Curry Recipe – Protein Rich
Soyabean Chap is primarily a North Indian delight and is considered equivalent of a non-vegetarian dish. This recipe is for making Soyabean chap curry.
- 8 Number Soyabean Chaap Sticks (You can’t make them at home. Get from market)
- 1/4 Cup Oil
- 1 Cup Tomato Paste (You can use Tomato Puree or grind fresh tomato to fine paste)
- 3/4 Cup Onion (Grated Chopped into small pieces)
- 2 Inch Ginger (Grated )
- 4 Number garlic (Chopped)
- 2 Number Black Cardamom
- 2 Number Green Chili (Each 3 Inch in Length)
- 1 Tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/2 Tsp Red Food Color (Optional – or use Degi Mirch – is a brand name from MDH masala company. Famous for giving out red color to the sabzi.)
- 1 Tsp Red Chili Powder
- 2 Tsp Coriander Powder
- 1 Tsp Salt (or To taste)
- 1/4 Tsp Garam Masala (Make authentic Garam Masala at home)
- 1 Tsp Mango Powder (Amchoor)
Notes
- Ingredients for Soyabean chap.
- The soyabean chap sticks should be soaked in water for 6 hours before starting with this recipe. The ones you buy from market are generally pre-soaked by the vendor and are ready to use. If the ones you have is dry, you should soak them now.
Making the Tadka Cook time – 15 minutes
- Heat Oil in a pan on high flame for about a minute.
- After 1 minute, add black Cardamom and Cumin Seeds and let them cook for 30 seconds.
- After 30 seconds, they would turn golden brown in color. Now, add Garlic and Ginger. Cook them for 30 seconds.
- After 30 seconds, add chopped Onion. Mix well and let it cook.
- When Onion turns golden brown in color would take about 2-3 minutes, add Tomato and Green Chili paste. Mix well.
- Cook for about a minute on high flame and then add spices.
- Add Red Chili Powder, Mango Powder and Coriander Powder. Let it cook on high flame until Tomatoes appear to have separated from Oil.
- This step is optional. You can now add Deggi Mirch or Red food color to make it look more red in color, if you desire.
- Add Salt and Garam masala. Mix well and let it cook on low flame for about 2 more minutes.
- When you see Tomatoes separated from Oil, add Milk.
- Mix well and let it cook on low flame for another 2 minutes.
- Tadka is almost ready. It needs a bit of steamed cooking with the Soyabean Chap which is our next plan of action.
Cooking Soyabean Chap with Tadka Cook time – 5 minutes
- Mark cuts (using a knife) on Soyabean Chap sticks and add them in the Onion & Tomato gravy Tadka.
- Keep the stove on low flame and cover the pan. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, switch off the stove and sprinkle Coriander leaves.
- Soyabean Chap Sticks Curry is ready to serve hot. Enjoy.

Thank you….The recipe was very good…. I just tried it. Though I reduced the quatity of mango powder and red chilli by 50%. And increased ghee quantity by 20%. Also in the end, cooked for 10mins in pressure cooker seperately to incorporate the flavours of gravy into the chaap. Otherwise soya chaap feels tasteless inside. Enjoy the twist.

Good improvisation.

Hello Mr Lakesh, sorry for replying too late. Looks like we somehow missed your comment. But der aaye durust aaye.
Agar mai sahi samjah paaya hoon to aap soyabean chap ko ghar mei banane ki baat ker rahe hai. Humnei bahut koshish kari ise ghar mei banane ki par bana nahi sake. Phir hamnei kaafi jagah pata bhi kiya ke isko kaise banaya jaata hai aur tab hamein pata laga ke isko banane ke liye ‘extrusion’ process ka istemaal kiya jata hai. Extrusion ek bahut hi complex process hai jisme high heat ko use kerke soyabean se soyabean chap banti hai. Ise ghar mei ker pana possible nahi hota.
I hope ke mai aapke sawaal ka jawaab de paya.

dear mr gupta
i believe what you are saying is that to make soya chaap we need to melt the soya grains to make them liquip and pour into pre detirmined shAPE OR EXTRUDED PROCESS
THERE CAN BE ANOTHER PROCRESS OF CONVERTING SOYA GRAINS INTO PASTE AND MIX IT WITH BINDERS AND TAKE SOME STEPS TO MAKE INTO THE SHAPES OF CHAAP
PLEASE REPLY AT [email protected]

Hi Rajeev,
I do not know the exact process of converting Soya grains to Chap sticks. I researched on internet about how it is normally done and then got to know that it is the extrusion process that is applied to make it happen.
I don’t think you would be able to do this process at home.
But, if you know a certain process that can help achieve it, please do share it with us here.

Maahi
That’s really nice to know that everyone liked it at your place 🙂

Please be aware that chaamps are not soyabean. They are made from whole wheat flour. It is from Chinese origin and named Seitan. You can find 100s of Seitan preparation videos on youtube.
Maahi
If you are looking at making the sticks itself at home, then i would say that it may not possible as it is a pretty hectic and high temperature activity. Hence, cannot be done at home.

Hello Maahi,
I like watching your recipes…I live in USA and always look for our desi recipes, please keep on sharing your recipes. I love cooking and watching you cook, makes me enjoy cooking more….I get dried soya chaaps from Delhi whenever I come to India.
Shuchi
Maahi ji, I live in USA and run a food website http://www.chezshuchi.com. The recipes are in English and Hindi. Many of my readers have asked for soyabean chaap recipe. Since we do not get soyabean chaap in USA, I just could not explain the recipe. But I liked your video of the Soyabean chaap and have directed my readers to your video. Happy cooking!
Maahi
Thanks Shuchi for helping your readers and recommending our site. Ya..getting soyabean chaap sticks in USA is difficult. It is generally manufactured by local vendors here. You can suggest your readers to use the Nutrela chunks as a substitute.

Hi Jyoti…
Thanks a lot from Megha’s side…she is a bit busy these days so could not respond..
Did you try chaps?
Usa_gitu02
from where i got chaps….actuly i want to learn making chapes…not a dish…i think u understand what i want to say…
Maahi
yes…I understand what you mean..
But as mentioned in above comments, it is not possible to make them at home.
You need to get it from market and i don’t think they are available in this shape and form in USA. If you are in North India, you can find them at sweet shops, grocery stores. What you can do is, buy the Nutrela chunks (Soyabean chunks) which are available easily in any american or indian grocery store. You can then make them the way it has been explained in the recipe.
The taste will be same except the shape!!
I hope this helps.
