  • Okay, I will try rinsing them multiple times next time. He does make sense. But I will still continue to boil it, instead of keeping it in water for 10 minutes, because I always use them right away. Also, sometimes I get larger balls, and if I do not boil them long enough, the middle part of the balls stay tight and raw.

    Also, if you can find, you could try the balls made of other lentils (dal).



  • I put them in boiling water with salt for ~2 minutes. Then rinse it with cold water and squeeze out all the water. I do it only once. I have never tried not soaking them or rinsing them again and again, so I cannot tell if there is any difference. I have tried a lot of brands, they all taste exactly the same.

    The method I use is what my mother does, what everyone I’ve seen does. These soy balls are very popular in India, particularly because of how easy and quick these are to make. When people are feeling lazy, they make these with potatoes and call it a day.
