Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes and Soya Chunks

Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Soya Tikkis
- For extra flavour, sauté the chopped green chilies and coriander in a little oil before adding them to the mixture.
- Don't over-blend the soya chunks; a few pulses are enough to break them down slightly for a better texture.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a little more rice flour or all-purpose flour to achieve the desired consistency.
- For a healthier option, you can shallow fry the tikkis instead of deep frying.
