INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dried red lentils (100g)
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60g)
1/3 cup canned chickpeas, drained (50g)
1/4 medium onion (25g)
1 clove garlic (3g)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (2g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 cup baby spinach (30g)
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp coriander
1 cup water
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add a splash of water (or a tiny drizzle of oil if desired) and sauté the finely chopped onion until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions; sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and water to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Pour in the light coconut milk and reduce the heat. Let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened slightly.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, comforting red lentil curry.
