INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (yields ~1 cup cooked)
200 grams Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 small Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, grated
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1/2 teaspoon Coriander Powder
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set them aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Sauté for about 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk to the pan, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Incorporate the red lentils and about 1 cup of water (or vegetable broth if preferred). Bring the curry to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils have softened.
While the curry is simmering, cut the firm tofu into cubes. Gently stir the tofu into the curry and let it heat through for another 5 minutes.
Fold in the fresh spinach and remove the pan from heat once the spinach is just wilted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy coconut red lentil curry.
