Ingredients
Method
- Prep the Protein: Toss seitan or tofu with coconut oil, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Sear the “Thighs”: In a skillet, cook marinated pieces until golden on both sides, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Curry Base: In the same pan, heat olive oil. Sauté onions until soft, then add garlic and ginger. Stir until fragrant.
- Spice It Up: Add curry powder, cumin, and chili flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until everything smells too good to ignore.
- Create the Sauce: Pour in coconut milk, broth, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir gently and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Combine: Add the seitan or tofu back to the pan. Coat generously in the creamy curry sauce. Simmer another 10 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges. Pair with rice, naan, or your best dinnerware for full goddess energy.
