INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup dry red lentils
4 ounces firm tofu
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup tomato puree
1/4 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and soft.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin, and toast the spices lightly to enhance their aroma.
Pour in the tomato puree and light coconut milk, stirring to combine with the spices.
Add the red lentils and canned chickpeas along with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the lentils to soften.
Cube the firm tofu and gently stir into the curry. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes so the tofu absorbs the flavors.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the curry.
Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of herbaceous brightness.
