Method
 

  1. Prepare your soya chunks according to the packet - I just had to soak mine for an hour 😊 Yours might need cooking or you may be ready to start straight away!
    Next, marinate the soya in 5ml chilli, 5ml turmeric, salt and pepper for at least 15 minutes 😀
  2. Heat the coconut oil in the frying pan.
    Sauté the onions till they're soft (Recipes always say 10 minutes, but I've never cooked an onion that quickly 🙄)
    Cook the spices until fragrant (you'll know this curry is going to be a GOOOOOD one after you smell these spices 🤩)
    Add the tomato sauce, water, coconut cream and soya.
    Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until they curry is the thickness you like 😀
    Season to taste!
