Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly and soak them in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
After soaking, drain the soybeans and boil them in fresh water until tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
In a food processor, add the cooked soybeans, onion (roughly chopped), garlic cloves, and fresh ginger. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse paste.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the red chili powder, ground cumin, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and stir them into the mixture along with the breadcrumbs. Mix until combined.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the soybean mixture, mixing until the texture is firm but malleable for shaping patties. You may not need all of the slurry.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round patty.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve the spicy soybean patties warm with a side of mint chutney, yogurt, or a fresh salad.
