Classy, I know. I'd say a good chutney! I have to be honest and admit that I've either just had them with some sort of fancy rice or just in a burger style fashion (so ketchup). Classy, I know.

By the way, fortunately, the previous recipe didn't go to waste. Eventually the dough firmed up enough to form cutlets and I made 12, in addition to the "omelet" we ate the first night. 7 dinners in total! Any particular sauce you can recommend for them?<br>Willam Thanks, Kip.

You also made me think about the possibilities in quantity error based on differential liquid content in any person's batch of okara, so I re-worked the recipe with a dried variety. The only additional ingredient is a bit of asafoetida, which isn't completely necessary but is always nice with chana dal.<br><br>I also tried deep frying the patties (and little "meat"balls of the mixture also) with pretty good results!

In hindsight, I should have known all that broth wouldn't have been absorbed, or at least added a little at a time. Looking forward to hearing back from you.<br>William Thanks, Kip.

I'm working on some more okara recipes, too, but I'll be sure to be extra careful when writing the recipes down!

I followed it to the letter, but it was more like soup than cutlets. I doubled the okara, the besan, dal and okara to try to obtain cutlet consistency, but still like soup. I lost count of how much besan and gluten I eventually added, and still was more like glop than cutlets! We made something like an omelet, and it was as heavy as a discus. Can you please double check the recipe and pray tell how to make the cutlets as in the photo above!<br>Regards,<br>William Hi, Kit.
