[tscii] Dear friends, I tried cooking chicken varuval with soya meal.
Nowadays they have meat,chicken, prawns and many more items in soya meal.
The dish turned out about 90% like chicken varuval.
Here is the recipe.

VEGETARIAN CHICKEN VARUVAL

Ingredients:
500 grms of the vegetarian chicken meat
1 onion chopped fine
1 tomato chopped fine
2 tsp oil
1 tbs lime juice
Little coriander leaves to garnish

To Grind:
1 tsp aniseed roasted
½ tsp cumin seeds roasted
½ tsp tumeric powder
2 tsp garlic paste
2 tsp ginger paste
1 tbs chillie powder
½ tsp pepper powder
1 tbs yogurt
Salt as needed

To temper:
1 onion sliced
3 dry red chillies broken into pieces
1 sprig curry leaves
1 small cinnmon stick
2 cardamoms
¼ tsp aniseeds
2 tsp oil

Method:
Grind together all the ingredients under to grind.
Marinate the vegetarian chicken pieces in the ground ingredients
For about 2 to 3 hours.
Heat oil in a pan, add the chopped onions and fry till golden.
Add in the chopped tomatoes and cook till oil serperates.
Now add in the marinated chicken pieces, sprinkle little water
And cook until done. See that it does not stick to the pot.

In another pan add the oil, when hot add the aniseeds, cinnamon stick
And cardamoms. Then add in the sliced onions, dry red chillies and curry leaves. Sauté nicely and pour it on to the cooked chicken meat.
Stir nicely and remove. Now add in the lime juice and garnish with
The coriander leaves.
If you like a oomph, you can sprinkle a ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
On the cooked chicken, give a good stir and serve.

Note: You can use this recipe to cook real chicken

kugan, can we use soya chunks for the above recipe?... do u think it'll turn out good... we don't get mock meats here...

adhenna vegetarian chicken meat ... :confused2:

kugan,
i never seen vegetarian chicken meat, anyway i have to hunt for it.receipe seems to be quite interesting, can we do in soya chunks?

Dev, boil the soya chunks with little salt.
when cold squeeze out the water and wash it in water many times, to remove the smell.

Then mix salt ,chillie powder and tumeric powder. Soak them for half an hour, then semi fry the soya chunks.

Now follow the recipe for the chicken varuval.
Happy trying. Kugan98

Madhu, here they make different kinds of meat in soya. All are soya based and fully vegetarian. Kugan98

Selviem, do try out in soya chunks.
The next I am going to try mutton varuval in soya.
Also my children are pestering me to try
chicken drumstick with soya sheets.
