1 tsp red chili powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp garam masala
1 tsp coriander powder

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Soya Chunks
Soak soya chunks in hot water for 10-15 minutes until soft.
Squeeze out excess water and grind coarsely in a mixer.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a bowl, combine minced soya, mashed potatoes, onion, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, and coriander leaves.
Add red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3: Adjust Consistency
If the mixture is too wet, add breadcrumbs or rice flour to thicken it.
Shape into small, flat cutlets and coat with breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
Step 4: Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat oil in a pan on medium flame.
Shallow or deep fry the cutlets until golden brown and crispy (3-4 minutes per side).
