Soya Chunks 65 is a mouthwatering vegetarian snack dish that is super easy to prepare. This flavourful and protein-rich snack combines the soft texture of soya chunks with a spicy coating.
Add enough water to a pan, along with some salt. Boil the water well. Switch off. Add soya chunks to the water. After making sure the meal maker is fully immersed in the water, close the pan and let it rest for 15 minutes.
The soya chunks should be cooked and must turn soft. Switch off and strain the water. Rinse the soya chunks with cold water and squeeze any extra water out of the cooked soya chunks.
Into a mixing bowl add chilli powder, Kashmiri chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, rice flour, besan flour, the required amount of salt, and lemon juice and mix well. Add the cooked soya chunks to the bowl and gently mix them.
Sprinkle some water to coat all the masalas on the soya chunks evenly. Soya should be well coated with the masalas. Otherwise, it will not taste good. Let this mixture sit for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan on a medium flame. Once the oil is hot enough, add the soya chunks little by little. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry them till they turn crispy and golden brown on all sides. Finally, fry some curry leaves in the same oil till they turn crispy. Add it to the fried meal maker.
Serve the soya chunks 65 as a starter/appetizer with chutney or sauce on the side. Soya 65 can also be served as a side dish for rice varieties.
