Creamy Red Lentil Coconut Curry
A warming, velvety curry blending red lentils and chickpeas in a light coconut milk base with aromatic spices, tender onions, garlic, and a handful of fresh spinach. This dish bursts with comforting flavors and a creamy texture, perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry red lentils (100g)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed (82g)
1/3 cup light coconut milk (80g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1/4 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cool water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the red lentils with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15-18 minutes until the lentils are tender and begin to break down.
While the lentils cook, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, adding a splash of water if needed instead of oil.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric to the onions and garlic, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk to the sautéed mixture. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Fold in the rinsed chickpeas and freshly washed spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt.
Once the lentils have reached your desired consistency, stir the lentil mixture into the curry pan. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the curry simmer together for an additional 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors, then serve warm.
