Soya Chunks which is also called as Meal Maker here is my favorite stuff..I can eat it all day, I don’t know why ..But I totally like it..The one thing which put me back is the smell of that, so I use a special way to treat it which I have shown in the pictures..Addition of milk to the cooking water remove the funky smell from it…So if you are fine with that smell skip this step, but if you are like me, please follow this..
I use soya chunks more than anything in my cooking..I make korma, manchurian’s, 65’s and many many stuffs out of it..And among that this one is my favorite. These cutlets are so healthy since they are pan fried, but if you are in a mood of deep frying, please do it..These are great recipe to freeze..Make a big batch of this and after completing till the step of coating them in breadcrumbs, put them between parchment paper or wrap them individually in cling warp and freeze them. So that you can use it when ever you want..
I hope you like it and let me know how it came out..
Ingrediants:
Dry Soya Chunks– 200 gms (Click to know how to cook soya chunks)
Potato – 1 large Cooked
Breadcrumbs – 2 cups
Cornflour / Corn Starch – 2 tblspn

Milk – ½ cup (for cooking soya chunks)
Method:
Take lots of water and milk in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil..Once it comes to a good boil, add soya chunks/meal maker and switch off the flame..Cover with a lid and let it rest for 15 mins by which time the soya must have doubled in size. Now pour this over a colander and rinse with lots of cold water. Squeeze off the excess water with your hands and set it aside.
Now take this meal maker in a mixer and pulse it till it reaches coarse crumbs..Cook the potatoes and mash them as well. Put this both in a mixing bowl.
Now make the masala. Heat 1 tblspn of oil and add cumin seeds. Add in ginger garlic paste and fry for 1 min.
Now add in onions and sauté for 3 mins. Add in turmeric, chilli, coriander powder and mix well. Throw in lots of coriander leaves and mix once. Add this masala over the soya and potato mixture..
Add salt to the mixture and mix well.
Form small portion out of it and form into round pattice. Arrange it in a plate and put it in the fridge for 15 mins if you like..
Now mix cornflour and maida with some water and form into a thin paste. Pour this mixture to a shallow plate so that it will be easy to dunk the cutlet it. Put the breadcrumbs in a plate as well.
Now take the cutlet and dunk it in cornflour mixture and then roll it in breadcrumbs and set aside. Finish the entire batch like this.
Heat oil for pan frying, you could deep fry as well. Put the pattice in oil and fry on both sides till golden brown.

What are bread crumbs?? Last time I used sweet breads it guess and previous cutlets turned sweetish.. could you Please help?
Sushravya M.P
Please get back to me
Aarthi
@Sushravya M.PDont use sweet bread to make breadcrumbs, use normal bread. Just powder normal bread you will get crumbs.

Hi, jnstead of maida and cornflour mix csn we coat it with something else or cornflour alone?
Aarthi
@Anonymousyes u can coat in cornflour alone
Aarthi
you can coat it with atta or wheat flour too.
Sunita Dsouza
Hi, I tried the cutlets everything was good but instead of turning crispy they became soft. I used rawa to coat them instead of breadcrumbs.
Aarthi
@Sunita Dsouzabreadcrumbs gives crunchy texture. If u use sooji, you have to fry it little more oil or deep fry it
Priyanka

blender
