Viral Video Shows The Making Of Soya Chaap In A Factory And You’ll Be Amazed

Soya Chaap is literally the soul of every vegetarian lover. For all the right reasons? Indeed for all the right reasons. It is also loved by non-vegetarian lovers because why not? With options ranging from the luscious creamy malai chaap to scrumptious smoky tandoori chaap, this food item has attracted a devoted following.

The best part about this street food is that it is often helmed as a healthy one. However, recently, a lot of talk has been going on regarding whether this really is a healthy item. Why? Well, because it may incorporate a lot of maida also known as all-purpose flour in its making. A viral video of the making of Soya Chaap aims to solve this mystery.

A content creator took to his Instagram and revealed the making of Soya Chaap in factories

A content creator with the username @hmm_nikhil took to his Instagram and shared a super interesting video. The video brilliantly showcases how Soya Chaap is made in factories, from scratch!

The video very well explains how the journey of Soya Chaap making begins with a generous amount of soybeans poured into a drum. The creator explains how given their rich oil content, these soybeans undergo double grinding. Once ground, the soybean mixture goes through a specialized machine to sift out the husk. What is interesting to note is that the resulting soya flour takes center stage, indeed, however, 60% of this soya flour joins forces with 40% of gluten aataa (flour).

In this mix, a dash of salt is added to further enhance the dough. This dough is then rolled into strips and beautifully wrapped around the washed sticks.  These sticks then find their way into a spacious container for the cooking phase.

After this process, all the Soya sticks are put into cold water. Following their soaking in cold waters they are finally packed and stored in freezers where they are stored for a minimum of 12 hours before they are sent off to retail markets.

It is safe to say that the video has gone super viral on Instagram. It has garnered over 1.5 million views, 27.6 thousand likes, 14.2 thousand shares, and 126 comments. Here have a look at it,
