INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils (198g)
150g firm tofu
1/2 cup light coconut milk (120g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (124g)
1/4 medium onion, chopped (40g)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils and, if preparing from dry, cook them until tender. Alternatively, use pre-cooked lentils.
Press the tofu slightly to remove excess moisture and cut it into roughly 1-inch cubes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a splash of water or a teaspoon of coconut milk to sautée the chopped onion until translucent.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, and coriander powder to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked red lentils along with about 1/4 cup water (if needed) to adjust the consistency of the curry.
Mix in the light coconut milk and gently fold in the tofu cubes. Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes so that the tofu warms through and absorbs the spices.
Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the curry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your creamy, protein-packed coconut red lentil curry!
