Instructions
- In a pan on medium heat, dry roast all the items under spices, continuously stirring) until they start turning slightly brown. (3-4 minutes).
- Cool grind and keep if using for later.
- In the same pan, add in the oil and cook the onions until golden. Add in the coconut and ginger and cook for another minute.
- Blend the onion mixture with the spices and cilantro using a little water into a smooth paste. My blender conked out so the curry is not as smooth. In any which way, the curry is going to blow your mind away!
- In the pan, add butter and the blended mixture, a cup of water, salt and sugar to taste. Adjust spice if needed( more black pepper for added authentic saoji taste)
- Add in the Tempeh and cook on low heat covered for 20-30 minutes until the curry thickens and the tempeh is cooked and double in size.
- Serve hot topped with any Indian flat bread(Roti, Paratha, Naan) or with Basmati Rice!.
- Keep a pitcher of cold water at hand for the spice shock!!
