Soy Beans & Tofu Cutlet

This is healthy, high in fiber, very light Tofu dish. It’s not the type of cutlet, which makes you stuffed after eating one or two pieces. This can served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Texture-wise it’s very soft and delicate so it melts in mouth right away. I only used bread crumbs for binding rather than using potato, flour, or eggs, which helped keeping the dish light. It doesn't have any fancy spices, only our regular Indian spices.

Alternatively, the soy bean and tofu mixture can be used as filling for parathas or as burger patties. This can be made in advance and refrigerated for around 1 week time.
