Came out very good! I added handful of mini soy chunks to add some protein.
When we have to add soya chunks before or after whistle
Soak soya chunks in boiling water with little salt for 10-15 minutes, alternatively you can microwave water for 2minutes and soak the soya chunks. After 10-15 minutes grain the water, rinse 2-3 times under tap and squeeze chunks to remove excess water. Add this chunks with bottle gourd and pressure cook.
I made it yesterday with a little modification and it was very good. Thanks for the recipe!
