A warming, creamy red lentil curry enriched with tender pieces of firm tofu and vibrant fresh spinach, simmered in a fragrant blend of tomatoes, coconut milk, garlic, and spices. This dish offers a satisfying balance of hearty lentils and fresh greens, creating a comforting meal perfect for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
100g dry red lentils
80ml light coconut milk
60g fresh spinach
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
100g firm tofu
1/4 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp assorted spices (cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the rinsed lentils and spices to the pan, stirring briefly to coat the lentils in the oil and spices.
Pour in the coconut milk, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and about 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and begin to break down.
While the lentils are simmering, cube the firm tofu. Once the lentils are nearly done, gently stir in the tofu and fresh spinach.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the tofu warms through and the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed before serving.
