INGREDIENTS
100g Red Lentils
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
3 oz Extra-Firm Tofu
1 cup Spinach
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
2 tsp Mixed Spices (Turmeric, Cumin, Coriander, Red Chili Powder)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat a non-stick pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the mixed spices and toast them lightly until fragrant.
Add the red lentils and stir so they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in the light coconut milk along with about 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes until the lentils become soft.
While the lentils are cooking, cube the extra-firm tofu and gently fold it into the dal along with the diced tomatoes.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with a splash of water if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, nutritious dal.
