Instructions
 

  • Take soy chunks (1.5 cups) in a bowl. Add hot water. Keep aside for a couple of hours to soak. (Pro tip: If you do not have time to soak them, use soy keema or granules).
  • Wash the soy chunks nicely. Squeeze the water.
  • Transfer to a mixer.
  • Grind them coarsely.
  • Add garlic (10 cloves), ginger (1-inch, cut into small pieces), and green chili (2 pieces, broken in half). Blend them.
  • Take a frying pan. Heat on low flame. Add 1 tbsp of whole coriander, 1 tsp of fennel seeds, 1.5 tsp of cumin seeds, 10 black pepper, 1 whole red chili, and dry roast them for a minute or so until they change color.
  • Add the roasted spices to the mixer. (Pro tip: You can use powdered variants of each but following this technique will enhance the taste and flavor of the soybean kababs).
  • Make a coarse paste of all.
  • Transfer it to a bowl.
  • Add onion (1 piece, big size, grated), potato (1 piece, big size, raw, grated), fresh coriander leaves (½ cup, finely chopped), red chili powder (1 tsp), turmeric powder (¼ tsp), dry mango powder (1.5 tsp), garam masala powder (1 tsp), and salt to taste.
  • Follow it with gram flour (3 to 4 tbsp) and corn flour (3 to 4 tbsp).
  • Mix everything nicely to make a dough.
  • Take a little bit of the mixture on your hand. Make the kababs. Give it any shape, round or cylindrical.
  • Heat enough oil in a kadai on a high flame. Reduce the flame to low. Release the kababs one by one in the hot oil carefully. Flip and fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes on a low flame.
  • Take them out on a strainer when golden brown.
  • Your homemade delicious soybean kababs are ready. Arrange them on a plate.

Notes

Dry soya chunks will help in the proper binding and shaping of the kababs.
If dry mango powder is not available, I recommend using lemon juice in its place.
You must use an equal amount of cornstarch and gram flour.
I suggest not to make the kababs very thick.
You can shallow fry the kababs in less oil as a healthier alternative option
