Combining tempeh with eggplant and cauliflower in a delicious coconut milk turmeric gravy.

Often the side dishes that I make for daily meals come from spontaneity. Time flies so fast with so many activities that we do. So, as a chef, I have to think quickly about what menus I will cook for my husband to save time and automatically make my day more productive.

This time I have a stock of tempeh in the kitchen. I have to cook this tempeh immediately or it will rot. I see other vegetables that might go well with tempeh.

Because I still have a stock of coconut milk, so I will use eggplant and cauliflower to cook into a combination in gravy.

The turmeric coconut milk gravy that I made this time is not creamy because I used coconut milk that is not thick. If you want a creamy coconut milk texture, you can use thick coconut milk according to your taste.

You really know how to serve this, chef! I'm not sure if I've seen tempeh in your posts before, but I've never seen it in real life. You've used the tomato very well for serving. And cauliflower is finally in your recipes 😂😂

Turmeric is wonderful and has wonderful benefits and coconut milk is the best, my mom has a coconut milk factory and I have enjoyed its benefits since I was a child. Greetings friend, I loved your recipe.

This dish looks very inviting. Especially for a "meat free" day. Also, the amount (and diversity) of seasonings you use is very good.
