I used to eat soya chunks pulao quite often when I was pregnant because it was so quick to make. My little toddler is healthy and active now, so don't worry at all. Just enjoy your meals in normal kitchen portions!
Yes dear, you can definitely include soya chunks in your meals. They are a wonderful, affordable protein option, especially if you are vegetarian. Just cook them well and don't overeat them daily, variety is key!
