Lamb/Chicken/Soya Curry
Well this is a primarily a non- vegetarian recipe..but since i do not prefer cooking non-vegetarian food at home, i use soya chunks which readily substitutes to all meaty recipes and definitely tastes goood if not better. BTW i do relish white meat and have fair amount of it when I am out.So all those who dislike or have a major aversion to either or all of these may subsitute with veggies. Alright, lets get down to business then...
