Soya Burgers Recipe | Vegetarian Kheema Cutlets | Nutrela Patties

          Soya Burgers a delicious cutlet made with soya kheema. I used nutrela soya granules for making this healthy snack.Its the best vegetarian protein apart from lentils.I am calling it Indian version of cutlets as i added  chili powder ,coriander powder as the spice instead of pepper powder.      These spices  makes the  plain soya granules taste delicious.I added  fresh coriander leaves as well.

       Cutlets/patties/burger can be a best snack or can be a great breakfast when added to burger buns or sandwich breads along with vegetables like lettuce,spinach and some creamy dip like avocado. For a fresh start of the day ..these Home made cutlets give the satisfaction of making from scratch .Its indeed healthy,more nutritious and also very clean.      

         You can also use soya chunks instead of granules after boiling and mashing.I added potato for base or for everything come together instead you can use mashed rice or sweet potato.You can also add vegetables like corn,beans,carrots after boiling or you can even chop them to very fine pieces and add.If you see more water  while making ,add some rice flour to make the dough tight.
        I prefer to roast the cutlets on tava without any bread crumbs.Adding of bread crumbs increase the calories,so haven't added it.You can deep fry the patties but keep an eye on them. It will turn brown very soon.
