Let's talk about "meaty" vegan options! Plant-based substitutes for animal products enable you to enjoy the familiar taste and texture of the dishes you grew up eating without contributing to animal cruelty.  And the good news is that there are so many "meaty" options to explore in India: soya nuggets, dal wadi, tofu, seitan, mushroom, unripe jack fruit (kathal), and elephant foot yam (jimikhand), to name a few.

Green unripe banana has a texture pretty similar to that of fish and is quite versatile. Here we cook and mash unripe bananas and make a filling, flavorful “fish” cutlets with it.

METHOD:

1. Cook the whole unripe bananas (with skin) in a pressure cooker for up to three whistles on high heat.

2. Peel the bananas and mash the flesh. Add the ginger-garlic paste, chopped green chilli, coriander leaves, mint leaves, mustard powder, garam masala, jeera powder, and kala namak.

3. Mix well to form a smooth and pliable mixture. 

4. Divide the mixture into six equal parts and shape into medium-sized cutlets.
