INGREDIENTS
75g dry red lentils
100g silken tofu
1/2 cup light coconut milk (approx. 120g)
100g diced tomatoes
50g spinach
1/4 cup chickpeas, drained (approx. 40g)
1/4 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Finely chop the quarter onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, lightly sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until softened and fragrant.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin to the pan and toast for a minute to release the spices' aromas.
Stir in the red lentils and diced tomatoes, then pour in the light coconut milk. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer; cover and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the lentils are tender.
While the lentils are cooking, dice the silken tofu into small cubes and gently fold them, along with the drained chickpeas and spinach, into the simmering curry.
Allow the curry to heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed, creamy coconut red lentil curry.
