INGREDIENTS
70g dry red lentils
100g canned chickpeas (drained)
100g firm tofu
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 cup raw spinach
1/4 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp coconut oil
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they turn soft and translucent.
Stir in the grated fresh ginger, turmeric powder, and cumin, and allow the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils and vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the lentils begin to soften.
Gently fold in the cubed firm tofu and drained chickpeas. Continue simmering for an additional 5 minutes.
Pour in the light coconut milk and add the raw spinach. Stir well to combine, and allow the spinach to wilt and the dal to thicken slightly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with a little water if it becomes too thick.
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, aromatic flavors of this delightful dal.
