Cook the Soya nuggets in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes. Rinse under running water, drain and squeeze dry.

In a blender grind together the boiled Soya nuggets, onion (if using), leftover rice, chillies and coriander. Add salt to taste.

The above mixture will have a dough-like consistency. Shape into cutlets. Coat with breadcrumbs or rava (semolina). Shallow fry on both sides till crisp. Serve with ketchup or pudina chutney.
