Ingredients

  • 1 cup Soybeans
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion
  • 1 small Green Chilies
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place 1 cup of soybeans into a 25.4 cm dry skillet over medium heat (162.8°C / 163°C).
  2. 2Stir the soybeans frequently for 15-20 minutes, until they are crunchy and lightly browned. You will hear them popping and smell a nutty aroma when they are ready.
  3. 3Remove the skillet from the heat and let the 1 cup of soybeans cool slightly in the skillet for about 5 minutes. This prevents them from becoming too soft.
  4. 4While the soybeans are cooling, finely chop 1/4 cup of red onion, 1 small green chili, and 1 teaspoon of ginger. Also, finely chop 2 tablespoons of cilantro.
  5. 5In a medium bowl, combine the slightly cooled roasted soybeans with the chopped 1/4 cup of red onion, 1 small green chili, 1 teaspoon of ginger, and 2 tablespoons of cilantro.
  6. 6Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bowl.
  7. 7Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until everything is well combined. The soybeans should be evenly coated with the spices and herbs.
  8. 8Serve the Bhatmas Sadeko immediately as a crunchy and savory snack.
