Raw soya chaap

 

raw soya chaap | homemade raw soya chaap | how to make soya chaap sticks at home is one of the most loved street food recipe, especially, in northern India. those who eat non-veg says that the taste and texture of chaap is as good as chicken. it is to be noted that this is the post with respect to making of soya chaap which is “raw”. how to further cook a raw chaap has been shared in another post.

 

Editing this recipe again for the third time on 10-02-2019. know the reasons, below, which includes honest confessions too.

 

This recipe of raw soya chaap always remained a challenge for us because we have made about 8 experiments on this recipe in the span of 3 years, which resulted from failure to average results.

First experiment with raw soya chaap

when we updated the recipe of soya chaap for the first time on 17.04.2016, it was no where on the internet so no prior knowledge was available with us.

Also there was not any one surrounding us who knew that how to make raw soya chaap. that was our first experiment which we had learned from one of the food groups on social media. That chaap was made of wet soya and maida.

It received lots of love from all over the world and people started making it.

With the passage of time, we started receiving the comments with less appreciation but more complaints.

Some wrote that their chaap turned too much hard. but the common complaint was that the maida in the chaap remains uncooked and has a raw taste on eating. it was sad to read such comments and we started thinking of improving the recipe.

Second experiment with raw soya chaap

 

As the major complaint was with respect to the raw maida in the chaap, we thought of removing the maida from the recipe, which was used in huge quantity in the first experiment, and second recipe was developed in which just few spoons of maida was used.

This second experiment/recipe was updated after editing the first one on 03.11.2017.

In this second experiment, it was obvious that there could be no complaints of raw maida because maida was hardly used. but we started receiving comments that this chaap is not at all like that of market’s chaap as it didn’t have that elastic and stretchy consistency.

Those who have already eaten chaaps must know that chaap has a gooey stuff, which was missing in our second experiment.

And our journey of making raw soya chaap better remained continuous. We went to many professionals to learn the correct recipe of raw soya chaap. actually we didn’t know any professional in this field, so we went to the shop keepers who sell raw soya chaap and also to those who sell cooked soya chaaps.

Everyone told us that they buy it readymade so they don’t have the knowledge that how the raw one is made. may be either they actually didn’t know or didn’t want to share with us. alas!

However, in the year 2017, one shopkeeper told us that soya flour is not used and raw soya chaap is made by stretching the maida only but he doesn’t know more about it in detail. We thought that ‘soya chaap without soya’…no ways, so he was of no help to us.

In December, 2018, we saw the pictures of few packages of raw soya chaap on internet in which the ingredients were mentioned. it included 60% soya flour, 40% maida, salt and water. but on some of the packages, whole wheat flour was also mentioned. Quite confusing for us.

We decided to experiment again but also decided not to edit the blog post until perfect chaap is made.

Third, Fourth, Fifth & Sixth experiment with raw saya chaap

In our third, fourth, fifth and sixth experiment, we made one batch of raw soya chaap with soya flour along with maida & another with whole wheat flour.

In the first two experiments, we added soya flour in extra ratio than the other flours. The taste was good but there was no gooey in the chaaps again.

Then fifth and sixth experiment was made by mixing all the three flours with soya flour in larger quantity than the other two flours but problem remained the same. Taste of chaap was improved but with no gooeyness which is the soul of chaaps and that is the only reason for its being loved by people.

The actual trouble was with respect to the presence of correct ratio of gluten in the chaaps made so far. The gooeyness in the chaap is due to the presence of gluten and soya flour is gluten free whereas maida and wheat flour, both, has gluten in it. But on mixing both soya flour and other flours, the quantity of gluten decreases lower to the required degree.

Seventh Experiment 

In our seventh experiment, which was in a very very casual mood, we took a big dollop of dough, which always remain there in our refrigerators for making chapatis, and experimented with it.

In this experiment, we made just one single chaap. on cooking this, it was like Oh my God. It was 99.9% close to the market chaaps. made just and just with the dough of whole wheat flour and no soya flour, it was perfect chaap but was it soya chaap ? Somewhere no. How a chaap can be called soya chaap without soya !

Recently, we met a shopkeeper who told us that the branded soya chaaps do contain soya but the local manufacturers made soya chaaps only with maida.

It was surprising for us but we recollected the words of that shopkeeper who told us in 2017 that soya chaaps are made without soya and only maida.

We also related his words with our seventh experiment in which we made one single chaap with whole wheat flour only and it was perfectly made.

It was a complete state of confusion for us that how to develop this recipe. to make the perfect recipe of raw soya chaap, we have to skip the soya, and if we skip the soya, how it will be named as soya chaap.

Eighth experiment with raw soya chaap

To win over this confusion, we made eighth experiment. we focused more on wheat and all purpose flours, but also added bit of soya to make it soya chaap & not just chaap. and this is perfect raw soya chaap for us with amazing taste and yes, that gooeyness, the real star is a chaap recipe.

Hence this recipe is very very special to us because it is the outcome of so many discussions with professionals, extensive study on internet and food groups (though none was helpful), number of experiments from zero to average results and editing the recipe in blog already twice.

Really, it took us 3 years to understand & believe that local soya chaap is actually not made of soya.

.. thank you dear readers for traveling those 3 years with us through this post.

Finally let’s begin with the recipe of raw soya chaap edited for the third and last time for sure.

 

 

step wise pictorial method of raw soya chaap

(do watch attached video to understand the method in a better way.)

  1. take a big bowl and place a sieve over it. add whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt in the sieve.

raw soya chaap

  1. sieve the flour into the bowl. mix the flour so that everything incorporates together very well.

raw soya chaap

  1. start adding water gradually and knead the flour into a dough.

raw soya chaap

  1. keep on kneading the dough for at least 15 to 20 minutes. more the better.

raw soya chaap

  1. cover the dough with a kitchen towel and place a lid on the bowl. place the dough for rest for at least one hour on kitchen shelf (in winters) or in refrigerator (during summers).

raw soya chaap

  1. after one hour, take the bowl back and uncover it. knead the dough again for a minute.

raw soya chaap

  1. pour lots of very hot water over the dough. water should be as much hot as your hands can bare and the quantity of water should be as much so that entire dough drowns in it.

raw soya chaap

  1. let the dough remains in water for 10 seconds.

raw soya chaap

  1. take the dough out and start squeezing & twisting it with your hands. you have to squeeze out the water from the dough.

raw soya chaap

  1. when you have squeezed out the water from the dough, again put the dough back in same water and let it remain there for 10 seconds.

raw soya chaap

  1. repeat this process again and again for 10 minutes. means… put dough in water for 10 seconds, bring out, squeeze & again in water for 10 seconds & so on and on. during these 10 minutes, this process of bathing the dough will take between 12 to 15 rounds. and the colour of water will also change to white.

raw soya chaap

  1. after 10 minutes and when about 12 to 15 rounds of dough bath will complete, pass the water carrying dough through a sieve so that water drains out and dough gets collected in the sieve.

  1. in the sieve too, squeeze the dough to take out maximum water from it.

raw soya chaap

  1. transfer the dough back to the bowl.

raw soya chaap

  1. now pour chilled water in the bowl carrying dough to the level dough completely sinks in.

raw soya chaap

  1. add some ice cubes to make the water extra chilling.

raw soya chaap

  1. this time again, you need to repeat the same process what you did in hot water. means… place dough in water for 10 seconds, bring it out, squeeze & again in water for 10 seconds & so on. every time press the dough with pressure so that all water squeezes out of it. each time you put the dough in water and then squeeze, the quantity of dough will keep on decreasing and the colour of this water too will turn white. no issues.

  1. after 8 to 10 minutes, you will observe that dough will start coming together and becoming like a mass.

raw soya chaap

  1. keep the process on and further in 2 to 3 minutes, dough will become stretchy. on pulling, dough should be elastic.

raw soya chaap

  1. when such consistency of dough is attained, stop the bathing process of dough. make sure you have squeezed the dough very well and no water is dripping out of it.

raw soya chaap

  1. transfer dough in another bowl. Make sure this bowl should be dry.

raw soya chaap

  1. add 2 tbsp of soya flour over the dough.

raw soya chaap

  1. knead the dough well for a minute so that soya flour incorporates well. you can add more flour if you feel that dough is still too much sticky.

raw soya chaap

  1. dust you hands with soya flour, particularly finger tips.

raw soya chaap

  1. take a small ball size dough from the entire dough.

raw soya chaap

  1. stretch it a bit with both of your hands vertically.

raw soya chaap

  1. take an ice cream stick and start rolling the dough across the stick starting from one inch ahead of bottom of stick to the top and back. press the rolled chaap with your palm so that dough sticks to the stick properly (see video for better understanding).

raw soya chaap

  1. finish the dough likewise. you will be able to make 5 to 6 chaaps out of this dough. our’s were 5.

raw soya chaap

  1. transfer all the chaaps in a zip lock bag, lock bag properly and place it in freezer. no worries if you don’t have zip lock bag. take a clean polythene bag, place all chaaps in it, tie a rubber band & then place it in freezer.

      Koushik Ji,

      Every time we made these chaaps consumed within 1 to 2 days. Only for once we cook the raw chaap after 10 days and it was still very good. No practical idea beyond 10 days.

      In all cases you can’t store it outside freezer beyond few hours. Even the sellers in the market store these chaaps in their freezers.

    Hello Payal Ji
    I have tried with 30% soya flour and 70% choker free wheat flour. I don’t intend to use maids at all. Problem is that the hardness is very high after frying. I have followed the process as per your procedure.
    Please suggest what am I missing or do I need to add any other thing as ingredient.

        Thanks for clearing the doubt. One last thing would like to clear.
        After grinding both of the ingredients i.e Soya Daal & Soya chunks, the mixture still contained small pieces of Soya Dal. I did use some amount of water in grinding, so that it become a paste (don’t know whether I was right or wrong at this point), but still it didn’t turned into paste & as a result, Chaap wasn’t refined & it contained pieces of Soya Daal.

        Please clear how should I grind it in a manner that it turns into paste.
        Also, I used both ingredients equally, as you have written – use 1 cup.

        • Payal Bali Sharma & Shailender Sharma
          Posted at 11:22h, 22 November Reply

          Probably you didn’t soak soya daal overnight or for sufficient quantity of time. And if still you face trouble is grinding, instead of adding water, grind soya daal by adding a handful of soaked soya chunks. These chunks are carrying water (although squeezed) so they will help the daal in getting grinded. Better grind mixing both (soaked soya daal + soya chunks).

    • Jitendra
      Posted at 05:26h, 23 November Reply

      I did soaked Soya Daal for 11 hrs (as you have written 10-12 hrs), kept at night & removed water in the morning but grinded both ingredients separately.
      Now I’ll try as you suggested. Thanks once again for humble reply.

    Thanks for this unique healthy product. I tried at home but found that the dough wasn’t properly prepared like regular chapati dough after mixing both of the mentioned products. It was totally sticky. It tried adding maida bit by bit as mentioned by you in comments but still didn’t got good result.

    Please advise what to add in the dough, means to say like maida or something else. I didn’t got this purpose flour. What all flours can be considered in purpose flour ?

    Also, for how much time should the raw chaaps shall be kept in freezer or after how much time these chaaps are ready for being cooked ?

    • Payal Bali Sharma & Shailender Sharma
      Posted at 05:32h, 21 November Reply

      There’s no exact measurement of Maida. It needs to added to bind the dough and make it worth rolling.
      Our chaaps were finished within one week of preparation so no exact idea for how long they could be preserved more. As they were still too good even after one week, so probably can be restored Upto 2-3 weeks!!!!

      I have nowhere talked about soya beans. There are only 2 star ingredients: soya daal and soya chunks.
      I don’t know about the rest of the world, but at my place, Soya Chunks are also named as ‘Neutri’…

      So go ahead with soya daal and ‘Neutri’…

      Hi,

      There no hard and fast rule with respect to the measurement of Maida….because the purpose of Maida is only to bind the dough. After you grind the soaked daal and chunks, it already carries enough water in it. So keep on adding Maida bit by bit to bring this dough equaling to the consistency of regular chapati dough.

      I hope it will help you.

    Hello, Thanks for posting the recipe for the raw chaap. I have been searching for this for a very long time and only found a Gluten version with Wheat which tasted bad. I really want to try your recipe and see how it goes. I’m writing from Texas, and we do not get the frozen Chaap which you get in North India.
    I have a question, we get plenty of Soy Flour in the US. can you help let me know if we could use Soy Flour instead of the Soy Daal? I need to check my local indian grocery store if they have Soy Daal.

      Please accept our apologies for such a delayed reply. Actually some comments don’t appear like the routine one, for whatever be the reasons.

      As far as your query is concerned, we are again sorry that we haven’t tried this recipe with the soya flour. You must be knowing that soya flour is actually made by grinding the soya beans after soaking, then boiling and then drying them. So soya flour is the outcome of soya beans actually and this recipe is not calling for soya beans. Also soya flour is not available in our city too (though it’s an easy task to make soya flour at home).

      But if you try this recipe with soya flour, please do share your experience so that it can be helpful to many.

      Look at the irony of your comment. Such a detailed reply, yet no reply. Feeling sorry for the same. Thank you so much for appreciating.

    How much maida/ flour should be used in this recipe? I squeezed all excess water properly, & added little maida, but my dough was sticky & soft , so I added more maida & boiled them on high flame for 20 mins, still they were sticky inside.. Is it to be boiled on low flame? N how do I know it’s cooked ? Any signs?

      There’s no exact measurement of Maida as you need it for the purpose of binding the dough.

      15 to 20 minutes boiling time on medium heat is sufficient.

      The sign of chaaps being cooked is that you can see the bubbles in hot boiling water.

      You said that your dough was sticky inside. Are you talking about the chaaps after their final cooking or about the raw version of chaaps?
      In common cases, chaaps remain raw inside either they are made too thick and/or fried in very hot oil on high flame.

    Soya Dal and Soya Beans are the same thing or it is different. Pls. Guide . Can we add more spices to the dough ? Ginger Garlic etc.

      Soya Daal & Soya Beans are not the same Neeti. Although both appear as the same but Soya Beans have a black eye in them which Soya Daal don’t.

      As far as species are concerned, I didn’t find any genuine reason to add at this very stage because after all this raw chaap will be cooked later. Add at that stage whatever you want.

      Rest decision is yours. But need to maintain the balance of species if adding at both stages (raw + cooking).

    Hi….thnx for explaining in detail but have 1 query. In 1 ice cream stick how many strips of dough will be put or 1 stick 1 chapati, also it should be in layers or not… Pls explain. TIA

      Hi Ekta…

      Thanks for dropping by.

      It’s not 1 stick 1 chapati.
      It’s 1 stick 1 or 2 strips depending upon the size of each strip.
      And yes make as much layers as needed to make a medium size chaaps. Don’t make too many layers so that your chaaps remain raw from inside while cooking and also not so thin that your chaaps don’t have a mass.

      I hope your query is satisfied. Please feel free to make any number of queries in case of any leftover confusion 🙂

    I tried it but mine tasted like raw maida from inside even after frying and making chaap masala.

    • Payal Bali Sharma

      Really bad to know about this Guri…

      There might be few reasons amongst these :-

      Either you haven’t squeezed the soya chunks properly and as a result, the mixture asked for excessive Maida for binding a dough… Or/&

      You rolled thick chapatis and overlapped the ice-cream stick, which resulted in quite quilted chaaps…. Or/&

      You fried your chaaps on high flame & they turned golden brown quickly but remained raw from within.

      Please help yourself one more time.
