Vegan Seitan Cilantro Masala is a delectable and flavorful entree with a medley of Indian spices and vegan protein. It’s a great substitute for coriander chicken as well.

A 45 degree angle view of Vegan Seitan Cilantro Masala My recent found of seitan has sufficiently provided me with my protein requirement.

Seitan is a wheat protein and it’s super versatile. It serves as a great substitute to chicken in any recipe.

I have been thinking to come up with some protein rich vegan Indian recipe.

Fortunately, I had a bunch of fresh cilantro sitting in my refrigerator.

Initially, I planned to make some chutney out of it. At that moment, it struck me, to make a recipe similar to coriander chicken with seitan in it. That way I eat enough protein, and satisfy my desire for an Indian masala entree.

How to make Vegan Seitan Cilantro Masala

It only takes 20 minutes for this entree to be served with minimum mess. All you have to is to blend tomatoes, cilantro, cumin seeds, garlic and ginger with some water in a blender.

Thereafter, you may heat oil in a pan, saute onion and cubed seitan. Next, you need to fold in the blended chutney and toss in some more seasonings. Voila! The dish is ready within minutes.

Yes, it’s possible to have a gourmet and lip smacking spread on the dinner table even on a week night.

My entire family enjoyed this entrée. Vegan Seitan Cilantro Masala pairs well with boiled quinoa/steamed rice/ naan and a side onion salad. Even meat lovers would love this entrée and be joyous about vegan dishes. We love this dish and hence I am excited to share my new recipe Vegan Seitan Cilantro Masala with you.

    This sounds amazing! I can’t have seitan because I am gluten intolerant, but I can think of a few other vegan options that I could use!
