Soya granules are rich in protein and work very well as a meat replacer. A friend of mine uses soya granules in every possible dish and lent me her soya burger recipe. It tasted awesome! Try it and see for yourself!
Ingredients
- Soya (chunky) granules – 20 t0 25 ( I cup)
- Potato – 1 (large size- boiled)
- Onion – 1(chopped)
- Bread crumbs – ½ cup (+ 4 tablespoons of bread crumbs)
- Garlic powder – ½ teaspoon (could use 2 pods of minced garlic)
- Ginger – ½ inch piece (crushed)
- Chili powder- 1 teaspoon
- Coriander powder- ½ teaspoon
- Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon
- Corn starch – 4 tablespoons (make a thick paste using 4 to 5 tablespoons of water)
- Salt to taste
- Oil for cooking
Directions
1. Boil 3 cups of water. Switch off the stove. Add in the soya chunks and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain the granules and rinse them in cool water twice. Squeeze the excess water and run them in blender. Set aside.
2. Mash the boiled potatoes.
3. Set a pan and add oil. Stir in onions and ginger- garlic. Cook until the raw smell goes away. Add chili powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder. Stir in the mashed potatoes. Stir fry for a couple of minutes. Add the minced soya granules and stir fry for 2 more minutes.
4. Add salt and mix well. Let cool. Once cool add table spoons of bread crumbs and mix well. Roll them into balls and flatten them a little bit.
5. Dip each croquette in corn flour paste and roll them in bread crumbs.
6. Heat a skillet and cook patties for 10 minutes flipping them after 5 minutes.
Notes
1. You can chop veggies like carrot, beets, green beans, steam cook them, mash them partially and add to the croquettes.
2. You can also bake them at 350° F for 30 minutes flipping them over after 15 minutes.
