Soya Tikki Recipe: How To Make Soya Tikki 

First, boil water in a pan and add soya granules and salt. Allow it to cook for around 4-5 minutes. Once done, strain and squeeze out the excess water. Now, add the granules to a bowl along with boiled potatoes, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste and carrot. Mash well. 

Add garam masala, cumin powder, red chilli powder, dry mango powder, black pepper powder and coriander leaves. Mix well. Next, take a spoonful of the prepared mixture and shape into tikki. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture and keep aside. 

In the meanwhile, make a slurry of maida, salt and water. Dip the tikki in the slurry and coat it well with the breadcrumbs. Pan fry the tikkis on medium flame until crisp and golden brown in colour. Serve hot with pudina chutney.
