Ingredients

• 150 grams Dried soy curls
• 500 ml Hot water
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 500 ml Oil
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 Sliced green chilies
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the dried soy curls in hot water for 10 minutes until they become soft.

Step 2

Drain the soy curls, squeeze out excess water, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to form a thick batter.

Step 4

Add the soy curls to the batter and coat them evenly. Ensure all soy curls are well-covered with the mixture.

Step 5

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated soy curls in batches.

Step 6

Fry the soy curls for about 5-7 minutes or until they achieve a crispy texture and a golden-brown color. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

In a separate pan, add a tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium heat. Add curry leaves and sliced green chilies to the pan.

Step 8

Sauté the curry leaves and chilies for 1-2 minutes until they become fragrant.

Step 9

Add the fried soy curls to the pan and toss them with the curry leaves and chilies for a minute, allowing them to absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Transfer the Vegan Chicken 65 to a serving plate and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Serve hot as a flavorful appetizer or side dish with sliced lemon wedges.
