-
Extract the Coconut Milk: Squeeze the grated coconut to extract the first milk for a richer flavor.
-
Sauté the Spice Paste: In a pan, heat oil and sauté the blended spice paste along with the lime and salam leaves until fragrant and the oil separates.

Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and add water as needed. Season with salt, sugar, and flavoring to taste.

Combine Ingredients: Once the mixture starts to boil, gently add the fried eggs, tofu, and tempe into the curry. Allow them to simmer so the flavors meld.

Final Touches: Once the curry is aromatic and heated through, remove from heat. Avoid overcooking to prevent the coconut milk from breaking.

Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your Kari Telur Tempe Tahu!
Note:
Be cautious not to boil for too long to maintain the richness of the coconut milk. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
