Mix 1/4 teaspoon of cherry powder with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of cooked tomato puree; keep aside.

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet and add minced garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute.

Add onion cubes to the skillet and stir briefly before adding capsicum cubes.

Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; cook for a little while.

Add the tempeh cubes to the skillet and toast for 2 minutes; no need to deep fry as they are pre-marinated.

Pour in the sweet and tangy sauce and 2 tablespoons of rice water; if fermented rice water is not available, use 1 tablespoon of plain water.

Cook for no longer than necessary; just enough to combine flavors.

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and nutrition; serve with chapati or fried rice.
