Soya Chunks Biscuits with Tangy sauce & Sesame seeds

(Soya Nuggets or Meal Maker Biscuits)

Yield: 25 biscuits

I tried this biscuit for an evening snack, inspired by the Dhokla recipe (Steamed Besan sour cake). It turned out soft and crunchy, a perfect healthy snack.



Ingredients:

Soya chunks (mashed) – 1 ½ cup
Rice flour – ½ cup
Maize flour – ¼ cup
Soy bean flour – ¼ cup
Chickpea flour / Gram flour / Besan – ¼ cup
Green chilly paste – ½ tsp
Red chilly powder – ¼ tsp
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Salt – 1 ½ tsp
Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) – a pinch
Cumin / Jeera powder – ½ tsp
Oil – 1tbsp
Sesame seeds – 1 tsp
Water – 2 cups

For tangy sauce:

Corn Flour – 1 tsp
Tamarind juice – 2 tbsp
Orange or Red colour – 5 drops
Water – ½ cup

Preparation:

Heat some water in a vessel. When the water boils, switch off the flame.
Put the soya chunks and close the lid. After 10 minutes, rinse the chunks in cold water and squeeze out the water.
Grind the chunks for a minute.
Take this paste in a bowl and add all the ingredients from the rice flour to jeera powder and mix well.
Add 1 tbsp of oil and make thick dough. Sprinkle water if necessary.
Place the dough in a greased bread / cake pan and bake for 15 minutes at 200° C (392 F).
Take out and cut into slices.
For the sauce, mix corn flour with water and tamarind juice.
Add colour and heat the mixture in a low flame till it becomes thick like a sauce.
Spread this sauce on top of each slice.
Arrange them in a tray and bake for another 15 minutes at the same temperature.
Sprinkle some seasoned sesame seeds.
Serve warm with hot tea.

Note:

You can add different kinds of flour as per your wish.
The green chilly paste can be avoided & replaced by the red chilly powder itself.
