INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils (198g)
150g firm tofu
1/2 cup light coconut milk (120g)
2 cups fresh spinach (60g)
1 medium tomato (123g)
1 small onion (70g)
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
Pinch of salt
PREPARATION
Rinse red lentils under cold water and cook them according to package instructions until tender.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes.
Dice the onion, tomato, and mince the garlic.
In a large pan, heat a splash of water or a light cooking spray over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced tomato, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and garam masala. Stir well and let the spices bloom for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cubed tofu to the pan, gently stirring to combine it with the spices and vegetables.
Mix in the cooked red lentils and pour in the light coconut milk. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Adjust salt to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy red lentil curry as a hearty dinner.
