For kebabs:

Soak the soy granules for 10 minutes in boiling water. Then remove, squeeze, and drain any excess water. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked soy granules, mashed potato, chopped onion, green chili, garlic-ginger paste, red chili powder, cumin, garam masala, coriander powder, fresh coriander leaves, and salt. Mix thoroughly. If the mixture is too soft, add breadcrumbs to bind it. Then portion into small kebabs or round patties.Heat oil over medium heat in a nonstick pan. Once the oil is hot, shallow fry the kebabs for 3-4 minutes on each side (till they’re golden brown on all sides). Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the pan and put on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

For mint yoghurt dip:

1. In a bowl, whisk the yoghurt till it’s smooth.
2. Add the roasted cumin powder, coriander leaves, mint leaves, lemon juice, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3. Taste, and if necessary adjust seasoning to preference.

To serve: Serve hot kebabs with mint yoghurt dip on the side.
