INGREDIENTS
80 grams Red Lentils (raw)
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas (82g)
100 grams Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk (120g)
1 medium Tomato
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat a small amount of water or a splash of coconut milk over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Stir in the red lentils, canned chickpeas, and cubed tofu. Mix well to coat them in the spices.
Pour in the light coconut milk along with about 1 cup of water (adjust as needed for desired consistency). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the chopped tomato and let the dal cook for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are soft and the flavors are blended. Stir occasionally.
A few minutes before serving, fold in the fresh spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed dal.
