This vegan dalcha uses soy curls to transform a meat-heavy Indian dish into a vegan one. It?s still packed with flavor and has that toothsome texture but without any meat!

This South Indian Lentil meat stew – Dalcha, has lentils or split peas cooked with spices, coconut cream and meat to make a hearty stew that is served with rice Biryani. We use soycurls to make a glorious vegan dalcha.

Continuing this year with regional Indian cuisine with this delicious stew! Dalcha is a meat and lentil stew from Southern Indian cuisine, and it?s incredibly delicious. Dalcha usually contains lamb, but I?m using soy curls as the meat substitute.
You can also use seitan or other vegan chicken substitutes instead, if you don?t want to use soy curls. Or just omit and make a lentil stew.

Dalcha most often has Chana dal or toor dal as the lentils of choice. I use red lentils to make it a quicker meal. Dalcha has a fabulous blend of spices that work to elevate the lentils as well as the meat.

This recipe is a one-pot dish that you can serve over rice or with flatbread. It is often served with rice or biryani.
