INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry Red Lentils (65g)
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (82g)
100g Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk (60ml)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (120g)
1/4 medium Onion (30g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, grated (2g)
1 teaspoon Coconut Oil (4.5g)
1 teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Coriander
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until softened, then add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for 1 minute.
Stir in turmeric, cumin, and coriander, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk to the pan. Mix well.
Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and let cook for about 15-18 minutes, or until lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
While the curry simmers, cube the tofu and rinse the chickpeas if needed.
When lentils are tender, gently stir in the chickpeas and tofu. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the curry hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
