PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a tiny amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until aromatic.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed red lentils, canned diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and starting to break down.
Stir in the cooked chickpeas and light coconut milk, letting the curry warm through for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot as a comforting, nutrient-packed dish ideal for any meal of the day.
