Spicy Soya Nuggets

1.In a bowl, soak the soya chunks in hot water for about 15 minutes until they are soft. Drain and squeeze out excess water.

2.In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice mix.

3.Add the ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, and lemon juice to the spice mix and stir well to combine.

4.Gradually add water to the mixture until you achieve a smooth batter.

5.Add the soaked soya chunks to the batter and mix until they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

6.After marinating, take each soya chunk and roll it in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

7.Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated soya nuggets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

8.Fry the nuggets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

9.Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

10.Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
