INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils (198g)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (125g)
100g firm tofu
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60g)
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cool water. In a small pot, add lentils with water and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, dice the small onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
Press the tofu and cut it into small cubes.
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, then add garlic and ginger. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder to the pan and toast briefly with the aromatics.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, allowing the sauce to warm and meld with the spices.
Gently fold in the cooked red lentils, chickpeas, and tofu. Allow the curry to simmer for 5-7 minutes so that the flavors can combine.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, protein-packed creamy red lentil coconut curry.
