Soya Bean cutlets

Soya beans are a great source of protiens and a very good replacement for meat. Soya bean chunks, if properly prepared, can taste as good as beef. I have used soyabean minced to replace minced beef in minced beef curry, and it tasted very similar to minced beef curry! The following is a recipie of my mother's: Soya bean cutlets. You can enjoy them with rice, or as snack with tomatoe ketchup, or as cutlets in hamburgers for breakfast!

Ingredients:

Soya bean chunks- 1 bowl
Onion - 2 medium/large, finely cut
Ginger - 1 inch, finely minced
Garlic - 5-6 pieces, finely cut
Green chilli - 5-6, cut finely
Curry leave - 2 stalks, cut finely
Corriander leaves - 4 stalks, finely cut
Gharam masala - 2 tsp (optional)
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp (optional)
salt to taste

For crest: Method 1: 2 potatoes, pressure cooked and mashed, 2 cups bread crumbs and white of 1 egg. You can make bread crumbs by grinding rusk well. You'll find it much cheaper!
for Method 2: 4 bread slices soaked in water.

Oil for deep frying.

Method : Soak soya bean chunks in warm water for 20-30 minutes, squeeze out the water, mice in electric grinder for a few seconds.
Mix all the ingredients from Soya beans to salt well with your fingers.

You may now follow any of the following two methods:

Method 1: MIx in the mashed potatoe to the soya bean mixture, shape the mixture to small round, flattened cutlets. Dip in egg white and roll over bread crumbs. Deep fry in oil.

Method 2: Squeeze out the water from soaked bread slices, mix in well with soya bean mixture. Shape into small round, flattened cutlets. Deep fry in oil.
