INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup red lentils (dry)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
100g firm tofu
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder
Pinch of salt
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the cumin, turmeric, and red chili powder, allowing the spices to bloom for another 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the lentils are soft and beginning to break down. Add a splash of water if needed.
While the lentils are simmering, dice the firm tofu into cubes and lightly season with a pinch of salt.
After the lentils have softened, gently fold in the cooked chickpeas, tofu cubes, and fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt for 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.
Serve the creamy coconut red lentil curry bowl warm and enjoy!
