Soya Chunks which is also called as Meal Maker here is my favorite stuff..I can eat it all day, I don’t know why ..But I totally like it..The one thing which put me back is the smell of that, so I use a special way to treat it which I have shown in the pictures..Addition of milk to the cooking water remove the funky smell from it…So if you are fine with that smell skip this step, but if you are like me, please follow this..

I use soya chunks more than anything in my cooking..I make korma, manchurian’s, 65’s and many many stuffs out of it..And among that this one is my favorite. These cutlets are so healthy since they are pan fried, but if you are in a mood of deep frying, please do it..These are great recipe to freeze..Make a big batch of this and after completing till the step of coating them in breadcrumbs, put them between parchment paper or wrap them individually in cling warp and freeze them. So that you can use it when ever you want..
I hope you like it and let me know how it came out..
