Roasted turmeric potatoes and green beans, tossed in a tangy and bold tamarind sambal. A delicious side dish, perfectly paired with creamy satay tofu or aubergine for a contrasting flavour and texture.
The sambal uses a few pre-made ingredients like Indonesian-style chili paste, vegan fish sauce and lemongrass paste for an easy, no-cook sambal that comes together really easily.
Simply dice up the potatoes, toss in a little tumeric, oil and salt and roast until crispy. Add in the beans in for the last few minutes and then mix up with the tangy sambal. Serve with some roasted peanuts, spring onions and fresh chilli, for a delicious side dish.
