I have a bunch of people in my family and extended family who are fans of Chicken nuggets, But, being a vegetarian, I was left with having pakoras whenever I made chicken nuggets for them. So, I hacked their chicken nuggets to make it Surkhab friendly (or say vegetarian-friendly) and created Soya nuggets, which is equally delicious so that you, my veggie friends, don’t feel left alone.
