Soya kebabs are a tasty alternative for vegetarians. It has taken me three attempts to get them right, but the result has been worth it!
Ingredients
| • | 1 cup or 50 gm. dry soya mince |
| • | 1 large potato, 250-300 gm. |
| • | 1 medium (150 gm.) onion, peeled and roughly chopped |
| • | 1 inch piece ginger, peeled |
| • | 2-3 green chillies |
| • | 3 cloves of garlic, peeled |
| • | 2 tbs. chopped coriander leaves |
| • | 2 tsp. mint sauce or 2 tbs. fresh mint leaves |
| • | 1 tsp. sweet paprika powder for colour |
| • | Salt to taste, 1 1/2 -2 tsp. |
| • | 1 tsp. Garam Masala. If you use shop made garam masala, you may need more, as it has less flavour. |
| • | Juice of 1 lemon |
| • | 1 large or 2 small eggs, lightly beaten |
Instructions
| 1. | Wash and soak soya mince in 3 cups of warm water. |
| 2. | Boil or microwave potato in their skin, cool, peel and mash. |
| 3. | Drain soya mince and squeeze out all water by pressing firmly between both palms. |
| 4. | Place soya mince, onion, ginger, garlic, chilli, mint and coriander leaves in a food processor and chop finely. |
| 5. | Transfer to a bowl and add all other ingredients. Mix well and leave aside in the fridge for a couple of hours. |
| 6. | Make into /kebab or burger shapes and shallow fry in a little oil, using a non-stick pan. They should be nicely browned and crisp on both sides. Turn gently, with a flat spatula, they break easily. |
| 7. | Serve hot with Green Mango Chutney or Tomato Ketchup. |
Notes
| • | To increase the binding, so they become less friable, you can a add 1-2 tbs. besan or gram flour but this is not usually necessary. |
