INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups cooked red lentils (≈198g)
0.5 cup cooked chickpeas (≈82g)
0.33 cup light coconut milk (≈80g)
0.25 cup diced tomatoes (≈62g)
0.25 cup diced yellow onion (≈40g)
2 cloves minced garlic (≈6g)
1 tsp grated fresh ginger (≈2g)
1 cup fresh spinach (≈30g)
0.5 tsp olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat 0.5 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, toasting the spices for about 30 seconds to release their aromas.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk to the saucepan. Pour in about 1 cup of water and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the cooked chickpeas and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
