Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly and soak them in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Step 2
After soaking, drain the soybeans and boil them in fresh water until tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the cooked soybeans, onion (roughly chopped), garlic cloves, and fresh ginger. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse paste.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the red chili powder, ground cumin, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and stir them into the mixture along with the breadcrumbs. Mix until combined.
Step 6
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the soybean mixture, mixing until the texture is firm but malleable for shaping patties. You may not need all of the slurry.
Step 7
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round patty.
Step 8
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 9
Serve the spicy soybean patties warm with a side of mint chutney, yogurt, or a fresh salad.
