Dev, this is how I do. It is very easy. Kugan98
VEGE MEAT OR SEITAN
Ingredients:
8 cups strong flour
2 ˝ cups of water
Method:
Mix the flour with the water to make a stiff dough.
Form into a ball and knead well.
Let it stand under water for at least 2 hours or over night.
Then wash out starch by kneading with the hand in the water.
Be careful to to keep the dough together.
Pour off the starchy water frequently and continue,
washing until the water is almost clear.
You will then have a lump of gluten.
Boil the lump of gluten in water with little sliced
onions , garlic, salt pepper and little soy sauce.
Remove slice as you wish and use in your dishes.

Suvai, I forgot that you asked for the recipe.
For about 200 grms vege meat you need:
1 big onion sliced, 6 pips garlic sliced , one inch ginger sliced into sticks , and 4 green chillies slit into 4 and cut across.
You will need dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, little vinegar and a pinch of sugar.
In a pan, add little oil and saute the onions, ginger, garlic and green chillies.
add in all the sauces, vinegar , sugar, and little water.
add in the cut vege meat, and stir fry well.
Since the vege meat is already pre cooked, by boiling (refer to recipe)
Just mix well so that the sauces coat the vege meat well and a bit dry.
Remove and serve.
This is a Chinese dish.
Thanks, Kugan98

Thanks again Dev.
Dev I am in a very bad fix now.
Relatives are coming on the 4th. Aishu started having chicken pox from yesterday.
Now I have to make arrangements to put them up in a hotel.
Have to take them around, cannot allow them to have their own meals.
My head is going round, and very upset.:banghead:
Dev, thanks for the nice feed back on jackfruit seeds.
Well there is no end for recipes with jackfruit seeds.
you can make sambar, curry, kurma, podimas, stir fry.

I wanted to make mango sambar on wednesday for the guests.
Now plan all changed, same thing, tuvayal, curry, sambar salad,
and many more. Thanks, Kugan98
Thanks Lakme for your nice words.

Thanks and take care, Kugan98
Thanks Gulab jamun, I have already bought the things for her.
My problem is all the other children are starting their mid year exam today.
