Join the discussioni <3 going out to eat indian food and attempting to replicate at home. this dish was DELICIOUS! and i had others asking for the recipe. definitely a keeper!
Kaye – so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
We have a dairy allergy at home; any suggestions for substitutions for the yogurt and whipping cream?
Can you try coconut yogurt and coconut milk for the whipping cream?
After marinating, do I add everything from the bowl to the saucepan or just the tempeh pieces?
Katie – you add everything from the bowl into the saucepan.
Hi can the tempeh be replaced with quorn?
Sure you could do that. I never have but if you try it let us know how it goes!
How long does it take to thaw in the fridge?
There are a lot of variables – how cold your fridge is set to, the amount of items in your fridge, where you place it, etc. However, most recipes will thaw in 24 hours.
