INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup dry red lentils (~100g)
100g firm tofu
0.25 cup light coconut milk (~60g)
1 cup diced tomatoes (240g)
1 small yellow onion (~70g)
1 clove garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp curry powder
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a tiny amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it softens, then add garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed lentils and diced tomatoes to the pot along with about 1 to 1.5 cups of water or vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
Cube the firm tofu into bite-sized pieces and gently stir into the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened.
Stir in the light coconut milk and fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the curry is creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot.
