Answer

During Paryushan, it is generally better for Vidhi to avoid soya chaap.

Explanation

Soya chaap is usually made from soybean/soy protein and wheat flour, and it is often processed, frozen, or prepared with spices, sauces, onion, garlic, or other ingredients that may not be suitable during Paryushan.

In Jain practice during Paryushan, people usually follow stricter food discipline, such as avoiding:

• Root vegetables
• Fermented or processed foods
• Stale or stored foods
• Foods with unknown ingredients
• Onion and garlic
• Heavy, indulgent, or restaurant-style foods

Even if soya chaap itself does not contain root vegetables, its processing, storage, and ingredients make it questionable for Paryushan observance.

Spiritual Understanding

Paryushan is a time for sanyam, simplicity, inner purification, and reducing attachment to taste. So choosing simple, fresh, and clearly acceptable food is more in the spirit of the festival.

Takeaway

Vidhi should preferably not eat soya chaap during Paryushan. It is better to eat simple, fresh Jain food according to the rules followed in her family or sampraday.
