How to Make Crispy Soya Chunks?

Step 1: Soak & Prep

Take 1.5 cups of chukde soya chunks and soak them in 2.5 cups of hot water for 20 minutes. Once soft, squeeze out the water.

Step 2: Make the Masala Mix

In a bowl, mix ½ cup curd with:

• ½ tsp Chukde Haldi
• 1 tsp Chukde Red Chilli Powder
• 1 tsp Chukde Coriander Powder
• ½ tsp Chukde Black Pepper Powder
• ½ tsp Chukde Garam Masala
• 1 tsp salt

Step 3: Marinate

Add the soaked soya chunks to this curd-spice mix. Coat them well and let them rest for 30 minutes. This step is where the magic happens—the chunks soak up all that flavour.

Step 4: Coat & Fry

Now add ¼ cup rice flour to the marinated soya. Mix well to coat each piece. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry until golden and crispy.

Serve hot with green chutney or ketchup!

FAQs

Q1: Can I air-fry or bake instead of deep-frying?

Yes, you can air-fry at 180°C for 12–15 mins or bake at 200°C for around 20 mins. Spray some oil for extra crispiness.

Q2: Is this recipe vegan?

No, curd is used here. But you can easily replace it with plant-based curd to make it vegan.

Q3: Can I skip rice flour?

Rice flour gives the chunks a nice crispy texture. You can use cornflour or besan, but rice flour works best.
