Whereas, the method wasn’t in any respect sophisticated, simply an onion sautéed with a brief record of spices, with diced tomatoes, a splash of cream, and ultimately potatoes and tempeh. All of it got here collectively in a wonderfully vibrant, red-orange pot of feisty curry. Completed with a little bit of cilantro, it’s aromatic, filling, and tastes a lot extra indulgent than it truly is. I adore it.
