SOYABEAN MILK


I make my own soya milk and curd. Good source of protein. Try it out.

SOYABEAN MILK

Ingredients:
3 cups soya beans soaked for about 8 hours.
A bunch of pandan leaves
2 litres of water, more little if you like

For syrup:
300 grms sugar
Few pandan leaves
½ cup water

Method:
Wash the soaked beans in few changes of water.
Some like to squeeze out the skin of the beans.
Separate the beans into 3 batches.
Add equal amount of water and grind till fine.
Squeeze out all the liquid with a piece of muslin cloth.

To make soyabean milk the exact amount of water added is not so important.
Put the milk in a large pot filling just about ½.
Add the pandan leaves tied in a knot.
Slowly bring to a boil. It tends to foam and overflow.
Make sure the fire is low and you are there watching the process.
Boil for about 20 minutes, so that the raw smell goes.
Remove and cool.

For the syrup:
Simply melt the sugar in the water, with the pandan leaves.
Filter into a container.

Serve hot with syrup or cool it in the fridge.

Note: What I do with the fibre of the ground soya bean.
I add little all purpose flour, little chopped onions,
Little chopped green chillie, little chopped coriander leaves.
Add some salt and fry it as pakodas.
Goes well with chillie or tomato sauce.
