BRAIDED BREAD FILLED WITH TVP !!! - YUMM !!!


Textured or texturized vegetable protein (TVP) is also known as textured soy protein (TSP).  TVP is made from high (50%) soy protein/soy flour or concentrate.  It is extruded into various shapes (chunks, flakes, nuggets, grains, and strips) and sizes.   Textured vegetable protein is a versatile substance which can be used in variety of forms.  Since we all love this lot, I try to use them in many ways.  This can be used for making curry, filling for paratha (Indian bread), bread toast, topping for dosa/oothappam etc.  For this recipe you can use any shapes or size of soy protein, it can be chunks, flakes, grains, and strips but they must be small.  I am using it as filling/stuffing for the bread.  Here are few recipes I have posted earlier using soy protein.  Do take a look and enjoy eating!!!!

1. Veggie Burger (Pattie made of Soy protein, this is very a flavorful one)
2. Soya Chunks Vegetable Curry (Absolutely healthy sidedish for any bread) 
3. Soya chunks Gravy
(Rich and creamy gravy that goes very well with any kind of breads.  My favorite is with Naan(Indian Tandoori bread), the picture in this post may not be appealing as those are during my early days of blogging :):) but I promise you will be addicted to this gravy if you make once)
4. Vegetarian Chilli with Tacos
( Very flavorful and absolute favorite one)

Stay tuned to see more recipes using soy protein !!!!
