Vegetarian Butter Chicken | Vegetarian Butter Chicken with Soy Curls
How would you like to make an Indian, Keto, Vegetarian meal in your Instant Pot in less than 25 minutes? This recipe will fit the bill. Many people have asked me to create a Vegetarian version of my butter chicken. I know you can simply add paneer later but why stop there?
What Makes This A Vegetarian Recipe?
Soy curls, that’s what. Soy curls are a meat alternative that are made from soybeans.
What Makes Soy Curls SO Great?
Healthy. No preservatives.Full of fiber. Similar texture to chicken.
What Do Soy Curls Taste Like
I find them to be a lot like tofu, in that they take on the taste of whatever you put them into. They’re a little chewy–in a good way–so you can get your teeth into something yummy.
How To Make This Vegetarian Butter Chicken Sauce
This recipe for Indian Vegetarian Butter Chicken is a little different from than my famous butter chicken as it will definitely not make extra sauce. You will also need to add some water, to hydrate the curls and to provide enough cooking liquid to come to pressure. Additionally, there’s no good way to puré the sauce since you can’t take out the soy curls easily. But it works anyway.
How To Make Vegetarian Butter Chicken
Pour everything into the Instant Pot.Cook at high pressure for 6 minutes, NPR for 10, release remaining pressure.Add cream and butter.Serve with rice, cauliflower rice, naan, or cucumber shreds as I did
Tips and Tricks To Make This Vegetarian Recipe:
Soy curls do not have to be soaked beforehand if you’re using them in a pressure cooker. The high heat, steam, and time under pressure seem to rehydrate them just fine.You can use Greek Yogurt in place of the heavy cream. If you are Vegan, you can use coconut milk, and coconut oil as replacements for the cream and butter. If you don’t have soy curls readily available, use Paneer or Tofu. But I urge you to click on the link and get those soy curls, since I think you’ll find them to be quite versatile and useful.
