INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked chickpeas (164g)
175 grams extra firm tofu
0.33 cup light coconut milk (80g)
1 cup raw spinach (30g)
0.5 cup diced tomato (90g)
1 small onion (70g)
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon spice blend (cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked chickpeas if using canned, or measure out 1 cup of pre-cooked chickpeas.
Press the extra firm tofu lightly to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Finely chop the small onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium pan, heat a splash of water or a light drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the tofu cubes and gently stir to coat with the aromatics. Allow the tofu to warm up for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the spice blend (cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt, and pepper) and cook for another minute to let the spices bloom.
Pour in the light coconut milk and add the chickpeas. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the diced tomatoes and let the curry simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Just before serving, fold in the raw spinach and drizzle with lime juice. Stir until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
