{"title":"Delmege","description":"\u003cp\u003eDelmege is a Sri Lankan name, and the line we carry is its soya meat, sold in a plain version and a run of flavours drawn from the island's cooking. The chunks are made from textured soya protein, dried so they keep in the cupboard and swell into a firm, meaty bite when soaked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole Delmege range on our shelves sits in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flavoured-soya-meat\"\u003eflavoured soya meat\u003c\/a\u003e, within the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/soya\"\u003esoya\u003c\/a\u003e category of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dals-and-pulses\"\u003edals and pulses\u003c\/a\u003e department. Flavours include Jaffna curry, a hotter, darker style from the north; curry; chicken; roast chicken; prawn; cuttlefish; and vegetable, with plain soya meat for cooks who want to season from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJaffna curry soya meat suits Tamil households who like a fiery, roasted spice flavour with plenty of black pepper, and pairs well with string hoppers and pittu. The cuttlefish and prawn flavours give a seafood taste without the fish, which makes them popular on meat free days and during temple fasting periods. Chicken and roast chicken are milder and go into fried rice, noodles and pasta. Plain soya meat is the most flexible of all: fry it with onion and dried chilli for a devilled dish, or cook it into a coconut milk curry with potatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoak the chunks in boiling water for several minutes, drain, then squeeze them firmly so they can absorb the gravy. Cutting larger pieces in half after soaking helps the spice get in. Keep unopened packs in a dry cupboard and use opened ones within a few weeks.
