Instructions

  • Make the tempeh marinade by combining all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Add the chopped tempeh and stir until well coated in the marinade. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the tempeh to marinate for at least 1 hour.
  • Once tempeh has marinated, place the coconut oil into a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Add the spices and salt, and toss to combine; then add in the tomato sauce, coconut milk, frozen peas and marinated tempeh.
  • Turn heat down to medium-low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and serve the tempeh tikka masala over a bed of rice topped with freshly chopped cilantro.
