A comforting bowl of creamy red lentil curry infused with the rich flavors of coconut and warm spices. This vibrant dish combines hearty red lentils, protein-packed chickpeas, and a touch of light coconut milk for a satisfying meal that delights the senses with a burst of aromatic herbs and spices.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup red lentils (dry)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium saucepan, add the chopped onion and a splash of water. Sauté over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Stir continuously for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, light coconut milk, and add the red lentils. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the lentils start to become tender, mix in the cooked chickpeas and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve warm as a nourishing main dish.
