Method 

• Cook the soya nuggets in a boiling water,squeeze the excess water and pulse it in the blender to a coarse paste.Boil the potatoes and mash it.
• Cook the corn kernels in the microwave or boiling water and mash coarsely it,keep aside. 
• Heat couple of tsp of oil in pan and saute the onions and green chilly,once the onions turn transparent add the grated ginger &garlic.Saute it till the raw smell disappears.
• To this add the soya,corn and salt,mix it well,cook it for a minute or two.Now add the mashed potato and mix it well.

• Add the all purpose flour and mix it well.Pinch out a small lemon sized ball and make it to a oblong shape.
• Heat the pan in a medium heat and deep fry 4-5 croquettes for a batch till golden and crisp.
• Drain it on a kitchen towel.

Serve it warm with tomato ketchup or mint chutney.

• The  original recipe is with the soya granules if you are using soya granules use 1/2cup.
• The taste of the croquettes is nice if it is deep fried but it can be shallow fried.The taste will be slightly different.
• Mash the corn slightly,to prevent popping and the green chillies can be substituted with the red chilly powder.
• Maintain the temperature in a medium flame otherwise the croquettes will separate.
• Do a trial fry if it is separated then add little more of all purpose flour and mix it well or roll the croquettes in all purpose flour.
