INGREDIENTS
100g Red Lentils
100g Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
1 cup Water
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Press the tofu lightly with a paper towel and cut it into small, bite-sized cubes.
Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders, letting the spices bloom for another 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils and water to the saucepan, stirring to combine with the spices.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and breaking apart.
Gently stir in the tofu cubes and light coconut milk, allowing them to heat through without breaking the tofu apart, about 3-5 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the lemon juice.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm.
