Tempeh Curried Favor

Inspired by The Eating in Bed Cookbook

Intrigued by my previous Chicken Curry recipe, but looking for a vegetarian option? Look no further! This is the same hearty recipe but with tempeh. Chickpeas are a staple of Indian cuisine, so I felt that adding chickpea tempeh would pair well with the spice mix already in the recipe. The company that makes the tempeh is also local to me, and their products are top quality.
