This month Gayathri of Gayathri's Cook Spot challenged the Baking Eggless group to make a vegetarian version of Mrs Maduro's Meat Pies.
The original recipe is from Saveur. The two ingredients in the recipe that we had to deal with were the eggs that are used for glazing the pies and lean ground chunk that is used in the filling. frankly speaking this wasn't much of a challenge since most Indians make such substitutions all the time. for the glaze i decided on a solution of milk and melted butter and for the filling, i substituted the meat with soy chunks and paneer. the substitutions worked well and even my soy-hating husband liked them. he however commented that these pies would taste even better with a meat filling and i kind of agree with him. all that said i still think that these pies will make a great appetizer in any party. these taste particularly good when served with mint or coriander chutney.

Do not ignore this recipe even if you do not like soy. they actually taste pretty good cooked this way. With all the additions that i made along the way I had some extra filling in hand which I mixed with mashed potatoes and turned into soy-paneer patties. just in case you were curious... those tasted good as well.
So much for today... Happy baking and happy snacking !
