Tender soya chaap is marinated in a rich blend of fresh cream, hung yogurt, cashew paste, white pepper and green cardamom, then grilled on skewers in our tandoor until lightly charred. A final brush of pure desi ghee gives it a melt-in-your-mouth finish - the top vegetarian pick for guests who love tandoor flavour without the meat.
Malai Chaap is the dish that converts even the most committed meat lovers. We use fresh soya chaap, soaked, pressed and marinated overnight in a luxurious mixture of fresh cream, hung yogurt, cashew paste and ground green cardamom.
The skewers go into the tandoor just long enough to pick up gentle charring at the edges while staying creamy and soft inside. A final brush of pure desi ghee, a sprinkle of chaat masala and a squeeze of lemon - and it is on your plate.
Many places do soya chaap with overpowering masala. Ours leans into the malai - the cream, the cardamom, the gentle char - so the chaap stays delicate, mildly sweet and irresistibly creamy. A standout for vegetarians and a frequent surprise hit with everyone else.
"Soya chaap malai here is melt-in-your-mouth good. Creamy, lightly smoky, and beautifully spiced. Easily my favourite vegetarian tandoor dish in Calgary."
"I ordered this for a vegetarian guest and even the meat eaters at the table fought over it. Subtle, rich, and so tender."
"Such a good vegetarian option. The cardamom comes through nicely without overpowering. The desi ghee finish is what sets it apart."
