Soya Chaap Sticks (Soy Meat) Recipe

By: |

OH MY GOD! This Soy Meat Recipe is one of the closest substitutes to Meat EVER!

I turned to veganism once I realized how cruel the world has been to the animal kingdom. Having been an ardent meat eater myself, it was quite a task to switch from being a non-vegetarian to an eggetarian to a vegetarian and eventually to a vegan

I am proud to say that I have been off meat since 2004. At times, I would relish having some meat substitutes like Paneer (a fresh cheese common in South Asia), Tofu, Mushroom etc and was content with the same. Once I became a vegan, Paneer was off the charts too.

I happened to read about the meat alternatives and was wondering if I could get any substitute to meat locally. I enquired about the same with a few local super markets, groceries etc but could not find anything interesting. One fine day, when I visited a fine dining restaurant, I came across an interesting dish – Marinated soya chaap sticks (Soy Meat Recipe).

I was stunned when i had the first bite. It reminded me off the good old days but this time, there was no guilt involved. We decided to try this recipe. Soya chaap is a north Indian delight and is high in proteins. Do try out this recipe and let us know how you like it
