The Creamy, Comforting and spicy vegan stew. They Made with a simple combination of  roasted peanut, tangy tamarind paste and chunky onions.  This stew comes together quickly and would be a great weeknight meal.

It doesn’t require much prep and the hot sauce cuts down on the total number of ingredients, so it’s perfect for cold days and lazy weeknights.
