Ingredients

4 cups water, divided 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons brewers' yeast 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon lemon juice ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 pinch dried rosemary

Traditional Bohra Chicken Patties

Instructions

Step 1

Start by bringing 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a pot. While that’s heating up, add 1 1/4 cups of water, cashews, cornstarch, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, onion powder, lemon juice, basil, garlic powder, salt, and rosemary to a blender. Blend everything until it’s completely smooth. Once the water is boiling, pour the blended mixture into the pot. Use the remaining 1/4 cup of water to rinse out the blender and stir that into the pot as well. Keep cooking the gravy, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up nicely—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s thick and creamy, it’s ready to serve!
