INGREDIENTS
125g Red Lentils, raw
120ml Light Coconut Milk
50g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/4 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
240ml Vegetable Broth
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Cumin
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a bit of oil (if preferred) over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
Stir in the turmeric powder and cumin, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and light coconut milk to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the lentils are tender and the dal has thickened.
While the dal simmers, gently fold in the diced extra-firm tofu, taking care not to break the cubes. Allow the tofu to warm through for an additional 5 minutes.
Finish by stirring in freshly chopped cilantro, adjust salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Serve warm, enjoying the creamy texture and aromatic blend of spices with every spoonful.
