1 cup soya chunks (boiled and drained)
2 tbsp oats flour or whole wheat flour
1 tbsp cornflour (optional, for binding)
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1/2 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
Water as necessary
1 tsp olive oil or cold-pressed oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp minced ginger

Thoroughly boil and squeeze the soya chunks to remove all moisture. This is a crucial step for optimum flavor and texture. Mash or blend them well.
Combine oats flour, ginger-garlic paste, pepper, salt, and a little water, mixing well to form small balls.
Do not deep-fry these balls. Instead, employ healthy cooking techniques:
Air-fry for 10–12 minutes
Dry roast on a non-stick skillet
Steam and lightly sauté
These methods keep your meal light and low in calories.
Heat a small quantity of oil in a pan. Add garlic and ginger, cooking lightly.
Incorporate onion, capsicum, and cabbage, cooking on medium heat.
Add tomato puree, soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix in a bit of water and simmer until the sauce is light and flavorful.
Integrate the cooked soya balls into the sauce. Stir gently and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Avoid overcooking to allow the flavors to meld naturally.
