Vegetarian Sweet Sourish Tempe Curry

Another tempe curry with different flavour from my Vegetarian Tempe Curry. This curry tasted spicy, sweet sourish, quite like Indian style curry.   The tempe is has a nutty fragrance when you munch it.   A delicious vegetarian curry that is good with rice.  

It can be cooked as a semi dry spicy curry and the coconut milk can be replaced by milk.  This one has more gravy cos' I have forgotten to pan fry the potatoes  and cos' I'm giving some to my friend who prefers more watery curries.

Ingredients
[serves 10]

300 gm potatoes - skinned and cut wedges [can parboiled or pre-fried]

200 gm wet gluten [mee keen] - cut bite size pieces [optional]
2 pieces tempe - cut and deep fried until golden
100 gm tofu puffs - halved
2 tomatoes - cut wedges
1 stalk lemongrass - lightly bruised
2-3 sprigs of curry leaves

25 gm meat curry powder
1 tsp fennel powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1. Heat oil in wok,  fry tempe until golden.  Dish out.
2. Use the oil to saute curry paste, curry leaves and lemongrass till aromatic and oil rises. 
3. Add in potatoes and wet gluten pieces [can replace with more tofu puffs] to cook.  Stir fry to combine well with curry paste.
