INGREDIENTS
75g Dry Red Lentils
50g Chickpeas
80g Light Coconut Milk
100g Firm Tofu
40g Onion, diced
80g Tomato, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 cup Water
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the curry powder and cumin, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, chickpeas, and chopped tomato to the pan. Mix well to combine with the spices and aromatics.
Pour in the light coconut milk and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it gently simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened slightly.
While the curry simmers, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes.
Gently stir in the cubed tofu during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm through without breaking them apart.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and give the curry a final stir. Adjust consistency with a bit more water if needed.
Serve hot, and enjoy your hearty and creamy red lentil curry.
