Malai Soya Chaap

Just while window shopping in Modern Bazaar in DLF Phase 1 Gurgaon I saw these lovely chaaps and bought li’l quantity to try out first… yes there are n number of ways to prepare this awesome thing but I choose to make malai chaap as earlier I bought fresh cream to make sour cream so thought  that can be used in this preparation as well…  and the result was quiet gud..

This quantity will serve 2 ppl…
