INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (~100g)
150g Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained) (~40g)
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk (~80g)
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (~150g)
1 cup Spinach
1/4 medium Onion (~25g)
1 Garlic clove
1/2 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant and the onion softens.
Add the red lentils to the pan along with 1 to 1.5 cups of water (adjust based on desired consistency) and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, then add your preferred curry spices such as cumin, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender.
While the lentils are cooking, dice the firm tofu into cubes and lightly toss with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Fold the tofu and chickpeas into the curry, and allow them to heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the curry.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
