INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (≈100g)
1/3 cup canned Chickpeas (≈80g)
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk (≈80g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (≈120g)
1/4 cup diced Yellow Onion (≈40g)
2 cloves minced Garlic (≈6g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (≈30g)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil (≈2.5g)
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
A pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly in cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and coconut milk to the saucepan. Mix well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the lentils are tender, fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the curry for 2-3 minutes.
Season with a pinch of salt, adjust spices if needed, and serve hot.
