Soya is good for health and if made in different styles it can become a favourite in the house. Like it is in ours.
I find cooking very therapeutic and easy but what to make is a difficult question and especially thinking of a snack which is healthy and tasty is the toughest task. Generally weekdays whatever I make for breakfast nobody complains but holiday brings lot of expectations and to live up to the expectations becomes a daunting challenge. So this Sunday I made a dish which everyone relishes. I think I should give out the name of the dish and the recipe without creating much suspense.
It is Soya kabab! A healthy, delicious and fancy dish which can be eaten at breakfast, tea time or even at a cocktail party!
Ingredients :
1 1/2 cup- Soaked soya ( I used chunks)
1/2 cup- chana dal soaked
1 teaspoon - Garlic, Ginger paste
Red chilli powder
Salt
Green chillies (optional)
1/2 teaspoon or so( basically according to taste)- Garam masala
2 table spoon Gram flour( just to bind the mix
Method-
In a pan put little oil, add ginger-garlic paste, green chillies then add chana dal, soya granules, salt and red chilli powder. Cook it for some time till the raw odour of soya goes off.
Let it cool down, then grind it in the grinder.
Add garam masala. Next add gram flour to bind the mixture. Mix it well. Make small round shape balls, flatten them little bit.
Take a non stick pan. Shallow fry them till it becomes crispy and brown.
Serve it with mint/ coriander chutney and slices of onions.
Scrumptious in taste and sumptuous in looks soya kababs are ready! Ta-da!
