INGREDIENTS
30g Red Lentils
0.75 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
140g Firm Tofu
0.25 cup Light Coconut Milk
0.33 cup Canned Diced Tomatoes
A serving Mixed Aromatic Veggies (onion, garlic, ginger, spinach)
0.5 cup Water
1 tsp Curry Powder
0.5 tsp Turmeric
0.5 tsp Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and drain. Dice the firm tofu into cubes and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and roughly chop the spinach.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water or a tiny drizzle of oil if desired. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, chickpeas, and canned diced tomatoes to the pan, then pour in the water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes so the lentils begin to soften.
Gently fold in the tofu cubes and light coconut milk. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, until the tofu is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Just before serving, stir in the chopped spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm, enjoying the creamy texture and vibrant spice blend of this hearty curry.
