INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (~60g)
1/2 cup light coconut milk (~120ml)
1/3 cup cooked chickpeas (~50g)
5.5 ounces extra firm tofu (~155g)
1/4 cup chopped onion (~40g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (~120g)
1 cup fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup vegetable broth (~120ml)
Spices: turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water or a light oil substitute over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the onions become translucent and aromatic.
Add the red lentils to the saucepan and stir for a minute to coat them with the spices.
Mix in the light coconut milk, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season the curry with turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils begin to soften.
Gently incorporate the tofu cubes and cooked chickpeas into the curry. Allow the curry to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Just before finishing, fold in the fresh spinach until wilted.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then serve the warm curry bowl.
