Soya flour is used to make tiny, textured soya chunks or granules. Here are some soya chunk recipes you can try at home.
Soya Rice Soak the soya granules, and add dahi and spices like coriander and cumin powder to it. In a pan, sauté onions, garlic, and some spices like turmeric and cumin together. Add cooked rice, soya granules, and some coconut milk. Add sauce to the mixture and mix. Serve it hot.
Soya Upma In a pan, heat mustard seeds, green chillies, and onions to sauté. Add the regular upma veggies along with water to the pan. Add soaked and drained soya granules. Add the roasted semolina, stir, and cover. Simmer the mixture until the upma is fully cooked and fluffy.
Soya Cutlets Mix soya granules with mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, masala, and ginger-garlic paste, and season it with salt, cumin powder, and garam masala. Knead the mix to form the patties, coat them in bread crumbs, and proceed to shallow fry them until they turn crispy and golden.
Soya Tikka Soak the soya chunks in warm water. Put them in a mixture of yoghurt, salt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, and spices like turmeric, coriander, cumin, chilli powder, and so on. After some time, dry the crispiness of the soy pieces by skewering and grilling them until they are golden brown and cooked.
Soybean Paratha Mix soybean flour with spices, green chillies, onions, green peas, and wheat flour. Combine them to make a dough and form it into parathas, then fry them using a little oil or ghee until they are cooked.
Soya Sandwich Use cooked soy granules to sauté onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Season it with salt, cumin, and paprika. Drizzle this filling over pieces of whole grain bread, top with tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese if preferred, and toast or grill until golden brown.
Soya Pancake Combine soy flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add milk or water. Pour pancake batter onto a heated nonstick skillet, and cook the pancakes until golden brown on both sides.
