Grab a snack and relax, is just the thought on a lazy weekend! Well here’s one recipe to keep those snack times hot, crunchy and tasty. Known for its nutrition benefits, Soya bean is used for preparing gravies and side dishes, now go on to add it on your snack list too! As you bite into the piping hot soya bean fries the crispy exterior leads to a soft and spicy interior. I would like to share a tip here, be patient while frying the batter. The soya bean fries need to be cooked well, so while frying you will need to keep the flame low, and turn the fries on both sides to cook well.
