- 1 large potato, boiled and mashed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 green chilli (optional), finely chopped
- Fresh coriander leaves, 2 tbsp (30g), chopped
- Breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp (20g)
- Garlic-ginger paste, 1 tsp
- Cumin powder, 1 tsp
- Coriander powder, 1 tsp
- Garam masala, ½ tsp
- Red chilli powder (optional), ½ tsp

Method
For kebabs:
- Soak the soy granules for 10 minutes in boiling water. Then remove, squeeze and drain any excess water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked soy granules, mashed potato, chopped onion, green chilli, garlic-ginger paste, red chilli powder, cumin, garam masala, coriander powder, fresh coriander leaves and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- If the mixture is too soft, add breadcrumbs to bind it. Then portion into small kebabs or round patties.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a nonstick pan. Once the oil is hot, shallow fry the kebabs for 3-4 minutes on each side (till they’re golden brown on all sides).
- Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the pan and put on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
For mint yoghurt dip:
- In a bowl, whisk the yoghurt till it’s smooth.
- Add the roasted cumin powder, coriander leaves, mint leaves, lemon juice and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Taste, and if necessary adjust seasoning to preference.
To serve: Serve hot kebabs with mint yoghurt dip on the side.
