Cooking Instruction
- Boil water and soak the soya chunks for 10-15 minutes. Once softened, squeeze out excess water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, baking soda, and salt.
- Add chopped onions, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste, and coriander leaves. Mix well.
- Gradually add water to the dry mixture to form a thick batter. The consistency should coat the soya chunks well.
- Add the soya chunks to the batter and mix until they are well coated.
- Heat oil in a deep pan and drop small portions of the batter-coated soya chunks into the hot oil. Fry on medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
