This is a recipe of ripe santol rind cooked in coconut milk with chili and vegemeat for vegetarians. If you can’t find vegemeat, I think TVP or textured vegetable protein can be an ideal substitute. Most of the time you can buy it in dried form in bakery supply shops. Soak the dried TVP first in warm water, then drain.
