Creamy Coconut Red Lentil Curry Bowl
A comforting, creamy curry bowl that balances hearty red lentils with silky light coconut milk and tender tofu. Infused with aromatic spices, this dish is finished with a boost of nutritional yeast and fresh spinach for a vibrant finish.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (~60g)
150g firm tofu
1/2 cup light coconut milk (~120g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (~120g)
1 cup spinach
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (~8g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (~5g)
1/4 medium onion (~25g)
2 cloves garlic (~6g)
1 teaspoon curry powder (with optional turmeric, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and drain.
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and aromatic.
Stir in the curry powder (and any additional spices such as turmeric, salt, and pepper) and toast for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed lentils, light coconut milk, and diced tomatoes to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the lentils are soft and most of the liquid has absorbed.
While the curry simmers, cut the firm tofu into cubes. Once the lentils are cooked, gently fold in the tofu and spinach. Allow them to warm through for an additional 3-5 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot in a bowl.
