INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Red Lentils (~150g)
0.5 cup Chickpeas (~82g)
150g Firm Tofu
0.5 cup Light Coconut Milk (~120g)
1 small Onion (~70g)
2 cloves Garlic (~6g)
1 inch Fresh Ginger (~10g)
1 medium Tomato (~123g)
1 cup Spinach (~30g)
1 teaspoon Curry Powder (~2g)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a little water or broth until fragrant and softened.
Add the curry powder to the pan and stir for about 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Mix in the red lentils, diced tomato, and chickpeas. Stir to combine well with the spices and aromatics.
Pour in the light coconut milk along with about 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened slightly.
While the curry simmers, cube the firm tofu and gently fold it into the curry during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm through without breaking apart.
Finally, stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt in the warmth of the curry.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, enjoying the harmonious blend of creamy coconut, tender lentils, and protein-packed additions.
