Notes

Tips 
  • Soaking for 15 minutes in warm water is a must. You may add salt, ginger, garlic for extra marination while soaking them. Flavors are soaked in chunks and enhance the taste.
  • You can directly use crumbles (such as Nutrela soya granules), I did not have them while making this recipe.
  • Adjust the chilies and lemon juice as per taste.
