INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (67g)
2/3 cup canned chickpeas (110g)
1/4 cup cubed firm tofu (60g)
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60g)
1/2 medium onion, chopped (50g)
2 cloves garlic, minced (6g)
1 tsp minced fresh ginger (2g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/2 tsp olive oil (2.3g)
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and drain well.
In a medium saucepan, add the red lentils and about 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15-18 minutes until lentils are soft but not mushy. Drain any excess water if needed.
While the lentils are cooking, heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until it softens, then add minced garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk to the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Gently fold in the canned chickpeas and cubed tofu and let them heat through, about 2 minutes.
Once the lentils are cooked, combine them with the curry mixture. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm in a bowl and enjoy the comforting flavors.
