Soya Chunks Cutlets Recipe, an easy cutlet recipe using soya chunks or meal maker. Confession time: this soya chunks cutlet recipeĀ is almost entirely flicked from my sister. She has always been better with her hands than me, so my cutlets look more rugged as compared to her chubby, smooth ones. I am guessing it tasted as good though because these cutlets did taste pretty great.
If you are looking for a good vegetarian cutlet recipe, then this is the one, because soya chunks give a nice meatiness to the cutlets which is hard for vegetarians to come by. Even if you are not a huge fan of soya chunks, these may just turn you around because the infamous smell associated with soya chunks is absent in these cutlets and overall, these are healthier than meat / fish cutlets.

Step by Step Soya Chunks Cutlets Recipe:
4. Shape this mixture into cutlets, dip first in the egg (or flourĀ mixture) and then the bread crumbs – you can see the steps in this vegetable cutlet recipe post. Deep fry until nicely browned. Make sure you keep the flame in medium-high so that the inside also gets cooked well.

The amount of spices in the cutlet mixture can be adjusted to your taste. Since soya chunks are quite bland on their own, I always add spices generously.

Hi…First time here…Tried this and it was superb….
Soya chunks in cutlet sounds interesting. I guess they will taste like minced chicken cutlet. A nice veg option.
Looks so tempting …nice recipe and so the pics
Arielle, yes you can definitely do that! Try pan-frying it. Or, you can even try baking it although I would recommend this only as a trial. I haven't done it myself and I am not sure how well soya chunks respond to baking.
Immediately I saw it, I bookmarked, so will surely try it out soon š
Sandhya, the soya chunks I buy are not branded. They are must smaller in size than the branded soya chunks, as you can see in the pics. I found them in the local wet market near my house and they come in an unlabelled clear bag, 200gm each.
wow what an healthy n tempting cutlets…drooling here …beautiful presentation too
