Creamy Coconut Red Lentil Curry
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy curry where red lentils, chickpeas, and tofu meld with aromatic spices, light coconut milk, and fresh greens to create a comforting meal bursting with flavor and balanced nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dried Red Lentils (approx 100g)
1/4 cup cooked Chickpeas (approx 45g)
100g Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk (approx 60g)
1 cup fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Coriander
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain. Set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate or finely chop the fresh ginger. Dice the tomatoes if using fresh.
Heat a non-stick pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cumin, turmeric, and coriander to toast the spices lightly for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously.
Add the rinsed red lentils, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
Crush the tofu lightly with a fork into bite-sized chunks and add it along with the cooked chickpeas. Stir gently.
Pour in the light coconut milk and mix well. Allow the curry to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and the flavors meld, stirring occasionally.
A few minutes before the end of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm. Enjoy this hearty and creamy curry on its own or over a small portion of brown rice if extra carbs are desired (note: adding rice will adjust the macros).
