Mock Duck as the name suggests is meatless vegetarian recipe but it is prepared and tastes like roasted duck cooked in butter tomato gravy.

Instead of duck, I have used Soy Protein available in most markets these days like Vons, Whole Foods, Farmers market to name a few.

However, if you have some rotisserie duck meat or chicken meat leftover from yesterday night dinner, go ahead and replace soy protein with meat.

PS: Butter Tomato Gravy is traditionally known as Tikka Masala Gravy. This is a cheat style quick Tikka Masala gravy and I'm sue you will love how easy it is to put together! 

Pairing Ideas:

Couscous with Asparagus and Lemon Basmati Jeera Rice

Savita's Notes:
Mock duck tastes best with steamed rice but you can also use flat bread or slightly toasted artisan bread with this tangy spicy vegetarian recipe.

  1. I had Mock Duck at an indian bistro in Culver city, it was so mouthwatering, I am gonna try it tonight
  2. @Sameer, you can pan sear tofu in little bit of oil or you can also try this sauce with some pan fried russet potatoes. I usually look for these Soy Protein Cutlets in Tofu Section or Isle Or International or Veggie products isle near the milk or fresh produce section in most of the markets.
  3. I could not find Soy Protein Cutlets in market. Do you have any alternative suggestion? like can I use tofu instead?
  4. I like mock duck so much, got chance to taste it first time in a local eatery. This is so amazing and such a treat for vegetarians.
