Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil organic
Spices:
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (shahi jeera)
- 2-3 cloves
- 3-4 black peppercorns (less or more depending on required spice)
- 2 green cardamom
- 2 black cardamom
- 2 bay leaf
- 2 red chillies less or more according to spice, whole, dry
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (khuskhus/posto)
- 1 stone flower (Dagadphool, I didn't have this)
- 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida asofetida
- 1 inch cassia cinnamon stick form
Other Items:
- 1 onion medium, chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon coconut khopra Or Jowar flour(Sorghum, dry
- 1 inch ginger chopped
- 1 cup tempeh can use Tofu or Seitan as well, chopped, organic
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
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!!
