Soya Chaap in creamy gravy, acting as great starter and giving run for money to any chicken lover, though its fully vegetarian.

500 Grams Soya chaap on sticks I used "Soya Treat". Users in UK can buy following the link. Personally recommending as great soya.
4 Tbsp Fresh Cream
2 Tbsp Yogurt Use thick yogurt
2 Tbsp Cashew Paste Check recipe method to learn how to make cashew paste
1 Tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
1 Tsp Salt As per taste
1/2 Tsp Black pepper powder
1 Tsp Lemon Juice
1/3 Tsp Chaat Masala
1 Onion Medium size, Thinly sliced
3 Tbsp Oil

First of all, to make cashew paste, soak 8-10 cashews in warm water for 30 minutes. After that grind them into a fine paste with little water and keep aside.
Take off all the soya chaap from sticks and cut them into 2 inch pieces.
In a mixing bowl, add cream, yogurt, cashew paste, ginger garlic paste, salt and pepper. Mix well and add lemon juice.
Add the soya chaap pieces and mix. Now add 1 tablespoon of oil and mix it well so that the soya chaap pieces are well coated with marinade. Cover it with cling film and let it marinate for 2 hours.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add rest 2 tablespoon of oil to it. Take out the soya chaap pieces on a plate and keep the rest marinade with you.
Once oil is hot, shallow fry the soya pieces few at a time, till they are little golden. Take them out on a plate.
To the same pan, add thinly sliced onion and sauté till they are translucent. Add rest of the marinade and sauté for a minute. Add fried soya pieces and mix so that they are well coated and switch off the heat.
Transfer them to a serving plate and sprinkle chat masala on it. Serve this soya chaap, hot.

I have used Greek yogurt in my recipe because of its thickness, however you can use normal yogurt, just hang it for 30 minutes to drain excess water and use it.
You can marinate for less time, however this malai chaap taste best after marinating for more time.
Rather than shallow frying, you can roast them in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes at 180 degree temperature. Then add them into the sautéed marinade.
Make sure that this chaap is served hot for the best taste.
