Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Soy chunks
- 500 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
Bring 500ml of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the soy chunks, salt (1/2 teaspoon), and turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon). Let it boil for 5 minutes or until the soy chunks soften.
Drain the boiled soy chunks and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Squeeze out the excess water and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining cornflour, all-purpose flour, ginger-garlic paste, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, black pepper powder, and lemon juice. Add a tablespoon of water at a time to form a thick paste.
Add the boiled soy chunks to the marinade and mix well to coat evenly. Let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the marinated soy chunks in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Flip the soy chunks and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until crispy and fully cooked.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice, naan, or as a protein-packed snack.
