Tempeh Massaman Curry
With the start of winter approaching, it’s time to tuck into something warm & hearty like this delicious, healthy Massaman Curry. The tempeh gives this dish a protein boost and blends perfectly with the curry which is bursting with flavor and spices. Give this one a go – it won’t disappoint!
My favourite thing about this recipe is that unlike many of the store-bought curry pastes, this one is actually healthy and easy to make. I like making this curry in advance and simply reheat thoroughly whenever I’m feeling like something rich and tasty. If you want to make this curry a tad lighter, opt for light coconut milk and skip the oil. Serve with plenty of fresh coriander and dig in!
