Tasty soya chunks with turmeric rice recipe

Soya bean chunks are made from soy flour that has had oil removed.

They're processed and packed dry and have a rough texture before being cooked. Even though they're 100 per cent plant-based,they harbour a chewy taste almost like meat.

They are not only high in protein, omega-3, iron, calcium and so many other nutrients but are also high in energy and are totally cholesterol-free.

Turmeric is a spice goddess. Totally amazing on meals and works on the skin as well. Turmeric rice tastes as heavenly as it smells.
