INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (approx. 100g)
125g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (approx. 75g)
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 Small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
1 Medium Tomato
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1 tsp Curry Powder
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and chop the tomato.
In a large saucepan, sauté the onion in a splash of water or a small amount of oil if desired until translucent. Add garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the lentils soften.
Cube the firm tofu and add it to the dal along with the shelled edamame and diced tomato. Pour in the light coconut milk and stir to combine.
Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finish by stirring in the fresh cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed dal.
