Method
- Start by preparing the potatoes and tempeh. Cut the potatoes in to 2cm chunks and the tempeh into 2-3cm chunks
- Add the potatoes to a saucepan with boiled salted water
- Place the colander on top to steam the tempeh, and cover with the lid
- Cook and steam for 7 minutes, then set the tempeh to the side and drain the potatoes
- Now to add the salt, tumeric, chilli powder and flour into a bowl, stir together, and add the tempeh
- Heat a pan with oil and fry the tempeh for 10 minutes, or until golden brown
- Remove from heat and prep the rest of your vegetables: peel and grate the onions, chop the tomatoes, peel and grate the garlic, finely chop the coriander
- Throw your spice mix into a frying pan with a tablespoon of oil on medium heat, and cook for 2 minutes (if the mix gets too dry you can add half a cup of water to loosen it up)
- Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and continue to sauté the mixture for 5-7 minutes
- Put your garlic and ginger into the pan and cook for another 3 minutes
- Mix in the tomato puree and a large splash of water, and cook for another 3 minutes
- Combine the stock, vinegar, chopped tomatoes, tempeh and potatoes
- Leave to simmer on medium heat – and taste test! Add more of the spice mix, salt or vinegar if needed
- Serve with fresh coriander and enjoy!
