In a bowl, combine the ground soya with chopped onions, green chillies, coriander leaves, cumin powder, garam masala, red chilli powder, haldi, ajwain, and salt.
Add Binder
Mix in the egg or roasted chana dal powder to help the mixture bind well.
If needed, add 1–2 tsp of water or breadcrumbs to adjust consistency.
Shape the Cutlets
Shape the mixture into small cutlets or kebabs.
Cook
Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil and shallow fry the cutlets on medium flame until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
Serve Hot
Serve with mint chutney, tomato ketchup, or yogurt dip.
