Introduction

The most common meat alternatives are high protein foods like tofu, tempeh (this is not easily available in India), and seitan. All these three are quite bland tasting and take on the taste of the marinade. Tofu tastes good marinated and baked and is readily available in the Indian market. Seitan has the texture of meat. All of these are cholesterol free! Nutri-nuggets and mealmakers are also a good way to compensate for the absence of meat. Getting over meat is just a matter of time for most people. After a period of not eating it, the craving gets less and less.
