Tempe Frankie | Tempeh Wrap in indian style with detailed photo and video recipe – Spicy, saucy, pan-fried indian style tempeh is stuffed into warm tortillas/chapatis with creamy Mayo sauce and crispy veggies to make these flavorful frankie/wraps.
We don’t use it very often because is not as easy to find as tofu and is also more expensive , but it’s totally worth it!
Wraps are so portable and convenient, perfect for a healthy and light meal and you can eat them cold or hot. I prefer to use all the ingredients hot and add the tempeh hot, but they’re always delicious.
What is tempeh ?
Tempeh is a vegan “patty” made from fermented soybeans and or grains. It is very high in protein and calcium and low in fat – with a very textured, nutty flavor. It’s very firm and doesn’t easily crumble like tofu. Many vegetarian and vegan recipes use tempeh as a meat substitute and it holds up well.
Tempeh can be found in the refrigerated section of most health food stores and in the natural foods aisle of well-stocked grocery stores.
How to cook tempeh?
Since it is a low-fat and high-protein food, many vegans choose to include tempeh in their diet on a regular basis. Remember to always simmer or steam or boil tempeh for 8-10 minutes in seasoned water to soften and help lessen its bitterness. It really makes a difference! Once simmered, season it or marinate it as you wish. It is like tofu, in that it’s a nice canvas for other flavors. So Flavor it up!!!
In this recipe i have used frankie masala for indian touch for this wrap. If you don’t have frankie masala we can use taco seasoning or any spices you like.
