INGREDIENTS
75 grams Red Lentils
100 ml Light Coconut Milk
150 grams Firm Tofu
40 grams Yellow Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 cup Diced Tomato
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
1.5 cups Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Cube the firm tofu and gently press to remove excess moisture.
In a medium pot, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until soft and fragrant.
Add cumin, turmeric, and red chili powder to the pot, stirring to toast the spices for about 1 minute.
Pour in the red lentils and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the lentils start to break down.
Stir in the diced tomato, light coconut milk, and tofu cubes. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes so that the flavors meld and the tofu heats through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finish by gently stirring in fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
