Notes

  • Squeezing out excess water is a must...Else when you grind, the soya chunks will become watery and will not hold together to form balls.
  • The dough should be such that you should be able to form a ball. If its watery you will not be able to make proper balls also it will absorb more oil . In case its watery add some more besan n rice flour to bind it together.
  • You can use soya granules too... then you need not grind them. Just grind other requirements and mix with granules..
  • While dropping the ball in the oil , keep the flame on medium n later cook on low flame on low only. Else it will brown easily on the outside but the inside will be uncooked.
  • If you want you can add some grated carrot too...
