Method

1. Cut the seitan into thin strips and the bell peppers into bite-sized chunks.
2. Slice the red onion into wedges and mince the garlic.
3. Heat the oil in a pan and sear the seitan strips over high heat until golden, then remove and set aside.
4. In the same pan, sauté the onion, garlic, and peppers for 5-6 minutes until the edges are charred.
5. Add the curry powder and toast for a few seconds, then pour in the tomato passata.
6. Return the seitan to the pan, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
7. Turn off the heat and stir in the soy yogurt to add creaminess without boiling it.
8. Season with salt and serve hot.

Tips

• Adding the yogurt off the heat prevents it from curdling and keeps the sauce smooth.
• Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water to maintain the creamy texture.
