Masala Soya Chaap
Yash Dani
Masala Soya Chaap is a flavourful, protein-rich Indian dish made by grilling tender soya chaap coated in a spicy yoghurt marinade. The chaap is first lightly pan-fried until golden, then brushed generously with a mix of Greek yoghurt, cayenne pepper, turmeric, garam masala, and oil. Once marinated, it is grilled to perfection, giving it a smoky, charred aroma and a creamy, spicy coating. After resting briefly, the chaap is removed from the sticks, served hot, and garnished with fresh coriander. Paired with masala onions, tangy chutney, and a cheek of lemon, it makes a delicious, savoury appetiser.
