INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dried red lentils (100g)
100g firm tofu, cubed
1/3 cup light coconut milk (80ml)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1/2 medium onion (50g)
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is softened and aromatic.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric. Stir for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Mix in the red lentils and diced tomatoes, then pour in 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes or until the lentils begin to soften.
Gently stir in the cubed tofu and pour in the light coconut milk. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Fold in the fresh spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the spinach is wilted.
Adjust the consistency with a splash more water if needed, and remove from heat once the curry has reached a creamy consistency.
Serve warm, and enjoy the hearty and flavorful curry.
