INGREDIENTS
80g Red Lentils
1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk (120ml)
100g Firm Tofu
50g Chickpeas
100g Diced Tomatoes
1/4 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1.5 cups Water
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a saucepan, heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the rinsed lentils to the saucepan along with the water, diced tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender.
Cube the firm tofu and add it along with the chickpeas and lite coconut milk. Allow the dal to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the tofu heat through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. The consistency can be thinned with a little extra water if desired.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
