INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup (60g) Red Lentils (dry)
3/4 cup (180g) Light Coconut Milk
100g Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Chickpeas (canned, no salt added)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (canned)
1/2 medium Onion, chopped
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Chili Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess water and cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a tiny amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until it softens, then add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes, light coconut milk, and chickpeas to the pot. Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The lentils should be tender and the curry slightly thickened.
Carefully add the tofu cubes during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm through without breaking them apart.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
