Consider how frequently they get hungry, you wonder how they manage at school the rest of the year! Well, the only answer to this is a snack, and you’d rather have a homemade, healthy version than a store-bought, preservative laden snack. Today, we have the perfect option that is free from maida, white sugar or baking soda and is packed with protein – Soya and Chana Dal Cutlets!Zero-Fat Vegan Soya and Chana Dal Cutlets
Ingredients:
- 1 cup boiled soya ( I used nuggets)
- ½ cup chana dal, partially boiled
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger and garlic paste
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp biryani masala
- Chopped coriander
Instructions:
1. Grind all the ingredients together into a rough paste ( not too smooth). If you find it has too much moisture, add a tbsp of sooji/semolina.
2. Make small discs, place them on a lightly greased baking tray and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes. Midway you need to flip all the cutlets to the other side.
To make your own Biryani masala, lightly roast the following spices on a tawa till the aroma starts coming off – 2 tbsp saunf/fennel seeds, 1 tbsp jeera seeds, 1 tbsp dhaniya seeds, ½ tbsp black peppercorns, 2-3 big elaichi, 2-3 small elaichi, 3-4 cloves and a small piece of cinnamon. Once cool, grind to a powder and store in a bottle.
These soya and chana dal cutlets are bursting with protein. Your kids won’t even realize how healthy these yummy cutlets are – and you can smile as they gobble them up!
