Preparation
-
1. Prepare the soy cubes: Place the Vantastic Soy Cubes in a bowl and pour hot water over them. Leave to soak for about 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out any excess water.
2. Marinate: Mix the drained soy cubes with the soy sauce, garam masala, turmeric and lemon juice. Leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Cook the rice: Cook the basmati rice according to the instructions on the packet, strain and keep warm.
4. Prepare the curry: Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the cumin seeds and fry briefly until their aroma starts to be released. Add the onions, garlic, ginger and green chillies (if using) and fry everything together until the onions are golden brown.
5. Add the spices: Add the coriander powder, turmeric and paprika powder to the pan and fry briefly.
6. Add the spinach and liquid: Add the chopped spinach to the pan and stir well until the spinach wilts. Add the coconut milk (or vegan cream alternative) and vegetable stock and mix well. Bring the curry to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for approx. 5 minutes until the spinach is soft and the flavours are well infused.
7. Add the soya cubes: Add the marinated soy cubes to the pan and carefully fold into the curry. Simmer everything together for a further 5 minutes.
8. Season to taste and serve: Flavour the curry with garam masala, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with basmati rice or naan bread. TV chef Benedikt Faust wishes you bon appétit!
Tip: For a creamier consistency, you can puree the curry and then add the soy cubes to have a smooth sauce.

As exciting, varied and exotic as a vegan trip around the world. Vantastic brings the vegan street food & finger food highlights from the most exciting culinary corners of the world direct to your lunch box – whether it’s a snack, meal or a handy standby to fit in with your specific schedule.

Every culture has its own culinary treasures. Vantastic assembles the most fantastic international vegan snacks under one roof so you can eat a diverse and à la mode diet that fits in with your lifestyle. The idea behind it is to learn from and live with one another in the spirit of conscious, responsible nutrition. And it tastes truly Vantastic – even if we do say so ourselves.
Diverse and vibrant
Vantastic’s range is so diverse and vibrant that you won't even know where to begin. Why not start with the vegan American Pancakes or Swedish cinnamon bun for breakfast? Perhaps the Indian Cauliflower Tikka, Thai Sticky Rice Balls with Mango or Spanish Empanada for lunch? And maybe some wonderful Samosas, Chickpea Fries, Japanese Fish Cakes or US Buffalo Chicken-Style Wings for a snack in between times. Then why not sweeten things up with Portuguese Pastéis de Nata or Cheesecake Balls. Vantastic caters to every taste, whatever the scenario. We like to think that vegan treats have never been as innovative or diverse.
Welcome to the world!
Vantastic draws inspiration from the world’s masters in each respective field: traditional, naturally vegan recipes from India, hearty vegan dough dishes and pasta from the Mediterranean, international meat and fish alternatives and sweet bakery specialities from across the world. This sees the new brand combine its hopes and aspirations not just to cater to quality, environmentally friendly vegan nutrition but to create the underlying conditions for it too. We are doing our bit!
