INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Red Lentils
1/2 cup Chickpeas (drained)
100 grams Extra Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 Garlic Clove
1 Teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 Teaspoon Curry Powder
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside. Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned.
Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and grate or finely chop the fresh ginger.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a light oil alternative over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for another 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Add the red lentils, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk to the pot. Pour in about 1 cup of water or vegetable broth to adjust the consistency.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Stir occasionally.
Cube the extra firm tofu and gently fold it into the stew. Allow everything to heat through for about 5 more minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt in the residual heat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
