INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (100g)
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk (80g)
100g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (123g)
1/4 cup chopped Onion (40g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions, cooking for another minute until aromatic.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed red lentils, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk to the pan and stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and the curry has thickened, stirring occasionally.
While the curry cooks, cube the extra firm tofu. Gently fold the tofu into the curry during the last 5 minutes of simmering to warm through without breaking apart.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
Serve the curry hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
