INGREDIENTS
50g Red Lentils
1/2 cup Chickpeas
100g Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Yellow Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Curry Powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until softened, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for about a minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin; stir to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, and then add the red lentils. Stir the mixture and allow it to come to a gentle simmer.
Add the drained chickpeas and cubed tofu. Stir well and add enough water to cover the ingredients, about 1 cup extra if needed.
Let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and the flavors meld together.
In the last 5 minutes, stir in the spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust spices if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with a squeeze of lime.
