INGREDIENTS
75g Red Lentils
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
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.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with a little salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
In a medium pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the red lentils and light coconut milk along with 1 cup of water. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the lentils are soft and the curry has thickened slightly.
Stir in the chickpeas and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, gently fold it into the curry, reserving a few florets for garnish if desired.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm. Enjoy this creamy, aromatic curry as a satisfying dinner option.
