Soya Chunks Kebabs

             

From last many days, I was craving for Kebabs but was not in the mood of making regular Kebabs made from Chicken or Mutton, I wanted to try something new. I googled Kebab recipes and came across zillion of recipes starting from chicken, mutton, fish, paneer, potatoes, chana and what not. One ingredient that caught my attention was Soya Chunks.


My family loves to eat Soya Chunks. They're very rich in nutrients. The protein content in soya chunks is even higher than that of lentils. So we must include them in our diet at least twice a week. Also, soya chunks are the best meat replacement. I know we sometimes get bored with the usual recipes and look for something different. I have few Soya Chunks recipes on my blog do check them out if you like:

Today in this post I'll share one more delicacy made from Soya chunks and i.e Soya Chunks Kebabs. Since soya chunks have high protein content vegan and gluten-free so you can easily feed them to your toddlers. The best part is they are super easy and quick. 



Generally, three varieties of Soya chunks are available in the market: the larger ones, mini soya chunks and soya granules. The one which we have always handy is the larger ones. We can make these kebabs with any variety of soya chunks. I have used the larger chunks as they were lying in my pantry for many days. You have to just soak the soya chunks and then grind them in the mixer-grinder. You're ready to make the Kebabs.

So, without any further ado, let's begin with the recipe:



Ingredients:

1. Soya Chunks: 20-25
2. Chana Dal (lentil): 1/2 cup
3. Onion (finely chopped): 2 medium size
4. Ginger-Garlic Paste: 1 tbsp
5. Coriander Leaves (finely chopped): 2 tbsp
6. Cumin Powder: 1 tsp
7. Red Chili Powder: 1 tsp
8. Chaat Masala: 1 tsp
9. Oil: 2 tbsp
10. Salt to taste
11. Oil for frying



Method:

1. Soak the Soya Chunks in boiling water for 10 minutes and then squeeze out the water. 

2. Soak the chana daal in water for 4-5 hrs and then pressure cook it for 3 whistles.

3. Take a mixer grinder and add the boiled soya chunks in it. Grind them into fine granules. Take them out in a bowl.

4. In the same grinder add the boiled chana daal and make a fine paste out of it. Add it to the soya chunks granules. 

5. Now add finely chopped onions, finely chopped coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, salt, cumin powder, chaat masala, red chili powder, and oil.

6. Mix everything well with your hands. The mixture must resemble a dough. If the dough is too sticky or crumbly or falling apart then add 1/4 cup of cornflour. 



7. Take enough amount of mixture in your hands and shape it into a patty. Similarly, we will make rest of the kababs.

8. Heat oil in a pan and add the soya chunk kebabs in it. We will shallow fry them on medium-high heat until golden brown in color. This will take roughly around 3-4 minutes.

9. Once done flip the kababs very gently. Once the Soya Chunks Kebabs are 
nicely fried from all the sides take them out on a plate.

10. Serve the Soya Chunks Kebabs with salad and green chutney. Enjoy!!
