Soya chunk cutlet is a simple and tasty dish I ever had. Soya chunk cutlets are very soft and crispy. I am pretty sure even kids will love this cutlet.

For outer layer:

• 3 tbsp – Maida

• 1 pinch – Salt
• Water as needed for coating

Preparation method:

1. Wash and boil soya chunks in water for 5 mins.Once done soak cooked soya chunks in cold water for 2 mins and squeeze out the water, do it twice to get rid of the soya smell. Cut soya chunks in to a very small pieces and keep it aside.
2. Take a mixing bowl ,add mashed potatoes, soya chunks, chopped onion, cumin seeds,coriander leaves, red chili, garam masala powder, required salt and mix well.
3. Shape this mixture into round or oval shaped patties. Dip first in the maida mixture (mix maida in water with a pinch of salt.consistency should be watery) and then the bread crumbs;coat well on both the sides. Deep fry until nicely browned.

Notes:

• You can also grind/pulse soya chunks in mixer grinder.
• Make sure you keep the flame in medium so that the stuffs inside also gets cooked well.
• You can also pan toast this instead of deep frying.
