INGREDIENTS
200g red lentils
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
50g firm tofu, cubed
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups fresh spinach
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a minimal amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Mix in the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and coconut milk along with 1 to 1.5 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the chickpeas and cubed tofu. Allow the curry to cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened.
In the last few minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Adjust seasoning as needed, then serve warm. This comforting curry can be enjoyed on its own or over a small portion of brown rice if extra carbs are desired.
