INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked red lentils (from about 1/2 cup dry)
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/4 cup cooked chickpeas
1 cup spinach
1 medium tomato
1/4 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside. If using dry lentils, cook them in water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onion, garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the cumin, turmeric, and coriander powders, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the cooked red lentils and light coconut milk to the pot. Mix in chopped tomato and a splash of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Gently fold in the chickpeas and spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt for 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Taste and adjust spices as needed.
Serve hot and enjoy your creamy coconut red lentil curry.
