INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned Chickpeas
1 cup cooked Red Lentils
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/2 medium Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Red Chili Powder
1 tsp Ground Coriander
Salt to taste
1/2 cup Water
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water or a tiny amount of oil if desired to sauté the onions.
Dice the half onion and mince the garlic. Grate the fresh ginger.
Sauté the onions in the skillet until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
Stir in the spices: ground cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, and ground coriander. Toast the spices for 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and add the 1/2 cup of water to create a light sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and cooked red lentils to the skillet. Stir well to combine all flavors.
Let the curry simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the chickpeas and lentils to absorb the spices. Adjust salt to taste.
Remove from heat and serve warm. This hearty curry can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a side of steamed greens or brown rice if additional calories are desired.
