Soya Malai(cream) Chaap
Well, finding food which is not familiar to me, was quite a difficult task for me because I have tasted almost every healthy food whether it is available in my town or cooked at my home. So it took almost 2 days for me to decide the final food for my blog. Then I chose two foods one is Soya Malai(cream) Chaap and the other one is Yam. Unfortunately, yam was not available in the market for many days. Then I chose Soya Malai(cream) Chaap. Although this is a common food in my country, I never taste it because I was misguided by one of my friends when I was in 7th standard who said to me that Soya Malai (cream) chaap is bad for our health. That is why I always tried to avoid this food before this blog. Nevertheless, when I researched on the internet I got to know that this food consists of lots of carbs and protein. As I am gymaholic person, I need protein and carbs for my growth. So I think this food will help me a lot in the future.

How does this food appeal to the five basic tastes - salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami?
Salty: The dish contains a moderate amount of salt. The salt was perfectly balanced with other ingredients.
Sweet: Due to creaminess in this Soya Malai(cream) Chaap the sweet affinity of the dish enhances well and gives a far better sweetness to it.
Sour: In this dish addition of lemon is exceptional, but, I have added it so it gives a lemon zesty flavor which generates sourness in the dish.
Bitter: There is no sign of bitterness in this dish.
Umami: Due to the presence of protein, the chaap itself gives a significant umami flavor that lasts long. Soya chaap is also an alternative to meat and chicken for vegetarians.
Use your sense of taste, smell, sight, hearing, and touch; what do you observe with each?
Taste: It was my first encounter with Soya Malai (cream) chaap and it tasted uniquely different to me. As the first bite of the dish burst in my mouth with so many flavors like creamy, sweet, salty, and umami. It provides me overwhelming taste.
Smell: When this dish served hot because of many flavors and particularly (fruit chaat masala), its aroma enhances and provides fantastic trace to it.
Sight: The plating of the dish was perfect and temptatious that I could not resist having it. It has white foggy color due to cream and spices.
Hearing: The addition of hot butter to this tandoori creamy(malai) chaap gives the sparkling poppy hearing effects to it.
Touch: The raw chaap itself has a soft touch to it and after combining with cream it enhances the smoothness of the chaap. Also, the onions give a crunchy body to the dish.
