Soya Chana Kebabs are a delectable protein-packed vegetarian alternative to traditional meat-based kebabs. These flavourful kebabs are crafted from a blend of two key ingredients: soybeans (soya) and chickpeas (chana). This combination not only provides a hearty texture but also makes them a rich source of plant-based protein.
To prepare Soya Chana Kebabs, soak, boil, and mash together soybeans and chickpeas. You can enhance the flavour profile by adding a medley of aromatic spices and seasonings, including garlic, ginger, garam masala, and coriander. Shape the mixture into patties or skewer it for grilling.
Defatted soy flour products, such as soya granules and chunks, result from the extraction of soybean oil. It is quick to cook and its protein content is comparable to various animal foods. The addition of vegetables makes it rich in vitamins, minerals & antioxidants.
