Steps

30 minutes

1

Soak the textured soy protein in water with a little salt for 30 minutes.
2

Grind the almonds with the seeds, then add the well-drained textured soy protein to a blender and blend again.
3

In a bowl, combine the mixture with the finely chopped onion and garlic, all the spices, flour, soy sauce, and eggs. Mix very well and refrigerate while you prepare the sauce.
4

In a pot, sauté the garlic, onion, and bell pepper for the sauce. When softened, add the tomatoes, spices, and a little water. Cover and simmer over low heat.
5

When the tomatoes have broken down and released their juices, transfer everything to a blender and blend. Return the sauce to the pot.
6

Take the mixture out of the refrigerator and form it into balls, then coat them lightly with flour.
7

Fry the meatballs in a little oil until golden brown, then add them to the pot with the sauce and heat everything together.
