Soya Chunk and Aloo Tikki

1Soak the soya chunks (1 cup) in hot water for 15-20 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and finely chop them.

2In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped soya chunks (1 cup), mashed potatoes (2 medium), chopped onion (1), green chili, (1) ginger paste (½ teaspoon), garlic paste (½ teaspoon), cumin powder (½ teaspoon), coriander powder (½ teaspoon), garam masala (½ teaspoon), turmeric powder (¼ teaspoon), red chili powder (¼ teaspoon), besan, and chopped coriander leaves (2 tablespoons). Mix well to form a uniform mixture.

3Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round tikkis or patties.

4Heat oil in a pan for frying.

5Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tikkis in the pan and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping as needed.

6Remove the tikkis from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

7Serve the hot and crispy Soya Chunk and Aloo Tikkis with mint chutney or ketchup.
