Soya Chunks kabab | Soya Cutlet | Soya Peas Cutlet with step by step photos.

This is one protein rich appetizer. It’s vegan and gluten free.

Soya chunks kabab was in my to-do list since long. Finally I made that. This is a super easy and quick kabab recipe.

Also soya chunks are best meat replacement. It’s rich in protein. The protein content in soya is even higher than that of lentils. So you must include this in your diet at least twice in a week.

You can make super quick soyabean curry or soya chunks pulao in your everyday food.

There are three types of soya chunks available in market. One is larger chunks, another is in small size mini chunks, and third one is as granules.

For this recipe you can take any variety. I have taken larger chunks as that was available with me. But best is mini granules.

Process will be same but with larger chunks there is one more step that after soaking, I had to mince the chunks to smaller pieces. You can do that in food processor or regular blender.

Put soaked and squeezed chunks in processor and pulse once to get small granules. That’s it. You are done.

Also you can add any other vegetables also to this kabab. I have added green peas to get that nice green tint in my kabab. You can add crumbled paneer, grated carrots, cabbage etc.

Read my similar veg seekh kabab and paneer corn seekh kabab recipes on blog.

When we insert seekh or skewer it’s called as seekh kabab. Originally seekh kabab is a kebab that is made with minced meat. But we can replace that meat with vegetable mixture.

I wanted to give it a shape of seekh kabab but ended up making discs like cutlet. So things are same only shaping is different for both the sames.

Well for binding I’m using bread crumbs. But you can also use roasted besan or gram flour for this recipe. So again with gram flour the kabab will be gluten free.

How to make soya kabab?

If you have soya granules then skip this step and directly add to the mixing bowl with mashed potatoes and peas.

Preparing Soya Granules From Soya Chunks

Soak soya granules in boiling water for 5 minutes covered with a lid. Add a pinch of salt as well. After 5 minutes remove from hot water and wash it with cold water 2 to 3 times. Squeeze out every time to remove that foamy water. Squeeze out all water and put it in a blender. Pulse it once or twice till you get minced chunks.

Take boiled and mashed potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add blanched peas and minced soya chunks.

Now add bread crumbs and all spices and salt to the mixture. Mix all ingredients. Now divide it into equal portions.

Grease your palms and shape it into discs or cutlet.

You can also coat this with bread crumbs to add little more crisp. For that make a slurry with cornflour and water. Dip the kabab in slurry and then roll it on bread crumbs.

However this step is totally optional. You may skip and directly shallow fry the kababs as it already has bread crumbs and potatoes with binding agent.

Heat oil in a pan and place the cutlet pieces on pan. Shallow fry the kabab till golden and crisp. Keep flame on medium high flame.

Flip to other side carefully after 3 – 4 minutes so that one side is fully cooked and turns golden in color. Pan fry both sides equally.

Remove from pan once done and place on paper napkin to soak excess oil. Serve with ketchup or mint chutney and sliced pickled onions.
