Cooking steps for Soya Kabab

1
Craving something crunchy, spicy, and totally drool-worthy? Enter the Soya Kabab — a perfect dish for that cozy dinner for two (or, you know, a solo feast if you're feeling it).
2
Let's get into this super simple, super satisfying soya kabab recipe that'll have you hooked from the first bite!
3
Start by soaking 65 grams of soya chunks in warm water for 5-7 minutes.
4
Once they're soft and squishy (a little like your feelings when you hear a good song), squeeze out the excess water and grind them into a coarse paste.
5
Now, get that pan sizzling!
6
Heat less than a tablespoon of oil and toss in 1/3 of a finely chopped onion, 1 chopped green chili, and 1/3 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste.
7
Saut it all until those onions turn golden brown — hello, crispy vibes.
8
Next, stir in 1/3 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/3 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/3 teaspoon of garam masala, and salt to taste. Stir it up and let the spices party in that pan.
9
Now, it's time to introduce the ground soya chunks to the flavor party! Toss them into the pan and mix them in with all the spices.
10
Let that cook for 2-3 minutes so all those cozy flavors can mesh together. After that, let the mixture cool down. Once it's cooled, add less than 1 tablespoon of gram flour (besan) to help bind it all together.
11
Don't skimp on this step — this is what's gonna keep your kebabs from falling apart during frying.
12
Once that's all mixed in, shape the mixture into small, round kebabs — just the right size for two servings (or for you to sneak one, you know, no judgment).
13
Heat up some oil in the pan for shallow frying, and once it's hot enough (like, when it sizzles when you drop a kebab in), gently add the kebabs to the oil.
14
Fry them until they're golden brown and crispy on both sides — golden, crispy perfection.
15
Serve these bad boys hot with a little mint chutney or ketchup for that extra oomph. Boom, your homemade soya kababs are ready! Perfect for impressing that special someone or just indulging in a little self-love. It's the ultimate combo of health, flavor, and fun.
16
Enjoy this soya kabab recipe as a snack or a main — trust me, it's a total winner.

FAQs

What are soya kababs made of?

The recipe of soya kababs is usually prepared using soya chunks, or soya granules. They are high-protein, plant-based ingredients derived from defatted soy flour. These are combined with spices, herbs, and binding agents like gram flour or bread crumbs to form flavorful patties or skewers. Vegetables like onions, green chilies, and coriander are often added for extra taste and texture. The kababs are typically pan-fried, grilled, or baked to perfection.

Are soya kababs healthy?

Absolutely! Soya kababs are packed with protein, making them a great option for vegetarians and fitness enthusiasts. Soya is rich in essential amino acids, fiber, and iron, which contribute to muscle health and digestion. If you bake or grill them instead of deep-frying, they become an even healthier snack or meal option. However, watch your portion size if you're managing your calorie intake, as the kababs can be dense.
