INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup (67g) dry red lentils
150g firm tofu
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
A pinch of red chili flakes
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1 cup fresh spinach
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a light oil alternative over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until softened, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute.
Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili flakes, stirring to combine and release the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the red lentils, reduce the heat to low, and allow the curry to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the lentils are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
While the lentils are cooking, dice the firm tofu into cubes. Gently fold the tofu into the curry during the last 5 minutes of simmering so it warms through without breaking apart.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy your nourishing and flavorful creamy coconut red lentil curry.
