INGREDIENTS
100g dry red lentils
50g cooked chickpeas
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk (~80g)
100g diced tomatoes
50g fresh spinach
50g yellow onion
3g minced garlic
5g grated ginger
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric powder, allowing the spices to bloom for about a minute.
Add the red lentils and diced tomatoes to the pan, then pour in the coconut milk. Mix well.
Introduce the cooked chickpeas to the mixture and season with salt and pepper.
Add a splash of water if necessary and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender.
When the lentils are nearly cooked, fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the curry.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve warm.
