INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked red lentils (300g)
100g firm tofu
1/3 cup light coconut milk (80g)
1/2 medium onion (50g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1 tsp fresh ginger (2g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and cook them according to package instructions until tender. Set aside.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until aromatic.
Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, and red chili powder to the pan. Toast the spices for 30 seconds to bloom their flavors.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and stir, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked red lentils and tofu cubes into the pan, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
Pour in the light coconut milk and season with salt. Allow the curry to simmer for about 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a hearty lunch or dinner.
