Dear friends, I tried cooking chicken varuval with soya meal.
Nowadays they have meat,chicken, prawns and many more items in soya meal.
The dish turned out about 90% like chicken varuval.
Here is the recipe.

3 dry red chillies broken into pieces
1 sprig curry leaves
1 small cinnmon stick

Marinate the vegetarian chicken pieces in the ground ingredients
For about 2 to 3 hours.
Heat oil in a pan, add the chopped onions and fry till golden.
Add in the chopped tomatoes and cook till oil serperates.
Now add in the marinated chicken pieces, sprinkle little water
And cook until done. See that it does not stick to the pot.
In another pan add the oil, when hot add the aniseeds, cinnamon stick
And cardamoms. Then add in the sliced onions, dry red chillies and curry leaves. Sauté nicely and pour it on to the cooked chicken meat.

The coriander leaves.
If you like a oomph, you can sprinkle a ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
On the cooked chicken, give a good stir and serve.
Note: You can use this recipe to cook real chicken or soya chunks.
Boil the soya chunks with little salt.
when cold squeeze out the water and wash it in water many times, to remove the smell.
Then mix salt ,chillie powder and tumeric powder. Soak them for half an hour, then semi fry the soya chunks.
Now follow the recipe for the chicken varuval.
