PREPARATION

  • 1

    Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.

  • 2

    In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a tiny amount of oil if preferred. Sauté the chopped onion until it turns translucent.

  • 3

    Add the minced garlic and all the ground spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder). Sauté for an additional minute to release their aromas.

  • 4

    Stir in the red lentils and diced tomatoes, mixing well with the spices and onions.

  • 5

    Pour in the light coconut milk and enough water to just cover the lentils. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  • 6

    Add the cubed tofu to the pot. Allow the dal to simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and the flavors meld together.

  • 7

    In the final few minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt.

  • 8

    Season with salt, adjust spices to taste, and serve warm.
