Meal Maker / Soya Chunks Cutlets Recipe

This recipe is almost entirely flicked from the sister's blog. She has always been better with her hands than me, so my cutlets look more rugged as compared to her chubby, smooth ones. I am guessing it tasted as good though because these did taste great.

Soya Chunks Cutlets

Soya chunks give a nice meatiness to the cutlets which is hard for vegetarians to come by. Even if you are not a huge fan of soya chunks, these may just turn you around because the infamous smell associated with soya chunks is absent in these cutlets and overall, these are healthier than their meat/fish counterparts.


Soya Chunks Cutlets 
Makes: 12


Ingredients:


For cutlets
1 cup soya chunks
1 large potato, boiled and mashed
1 large onion, chopped fine
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp coriander powder / dhania powder / malli podi
2 green chillies, chopped fine (or 1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala (or any curry masala you have in hand)
A pinch of turmeric powder
1/4 tsp pepper powder
A few curry leaves
Salt to taste


For frying:
1 cup bread crumbs (toast 3-4 slices of bread dry and powder in the mixie)
1 beaten egg or a paste of 2tbsp maida with 2 tbsp water
Oil for deep frying




How I Made It:


1.. Soak the soya chunks in water for about 30 mins. Drain and squeeze excess water out.

2.Blend in a mixer until fine. Again squeeze out all excess water.

3. To this, add all the ingredients for the cutlets and mix well.

4. Shape this mixture into cutlets, dip first in the egg (or maida mixture) and then the bread crumbs. Deep fry until nicely browned. Make sure you keep the flame in medium-high so that the inside also gets cooked well.

5. Serve hot with ketchup, or just bite in!
