Soya ki Seekh

Soya ki Seekh is a Indian snack made on skewers with minced soya granules and spices . These rolls on sticks are roasted on charcoal .

Soya is full of protein and a wonderful substitute for meat . Delicious kebabs can be easily made with it .

I have never been fond of soya , but have always enjoyed it in the form of Kebabs . I make a version of Soya Lucknowi  Kebabs which are a big hit in our house , but this time I wanted to try a new version for this Soya ki Seekh .

In whatever form you make soya , these granules have to be soaked in hot water , they fluff up in a while and then these need to be washed well . You might see some froth in the beginning , but as you wash it , the water will become clear . Squeeze all the water . Now you need to sauté the soya to remove any leftover moisture and then we are ready to use the soy for kebabs .

The kebabs make a great snack for the vegetarians and vegans , the kebabs are protein rich and are perfect  as a snack or a meal if served with some kind of Indian paratha .

One can change the shape of the seekh and make a patty , it will make a wonderful stuffing for a burger . The same stuffing could even be used to stuff a paratha . But for today it’s a seekh and these have been shaped on wooden skewers and roasted on a nonstick griddle . So go ahead and enjoy the Soya ki Seekh which is my Day 3 post for Anything you can Snack On .

  1. These seekh kebabs are so interesting, that it is hard to believe these are vegetarian! I would love to dunk these into some chutney and have with my chai… Yum!
