All you need is:
- 2/3 cup of dry soya mince (70gr)
- 1/4 cup soya sauce
- 2/3 cup water
- salt
- black pepper
- hot paprika
- cumin
- garlic powder
- 5 full tablespoons of gram flour (100gr)*
Place the mince in a small bowl and add seasoning: dash of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, dash of cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of hot paprika. Mix everything with a fork.
Boil water in the kettle. Pour the soy sauce over the mince followed by the water and mix everything again well with your fork. Let it stand for around 15 min so it's cool enough to shape with your hands.
Now add the gram flour and mix again with your fork until it's a paste. Shape this with your hands into small balls.
Fry these in a bit of olive oil and 1/2 chopped onion.
When the balls are golden brown, add a jar of tomato sauce ready made (or blend a can of tomatoes with spices).
Serve with pasta such as penne, fusilli or spaghetti (here I used giant Fusilli pasta)
* you can use any type of flour, but gram flour will be tastier and higher in protein than regular flours.
