INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils
200 grams firm tofu
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon olive oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the curry powder and turmeric powder to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Mix in the red lentils and add the diced tomatoes, stirring to combine with the spices.
Pour in the light coconut milk and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed some of the liquid.
Gently stir in the tofu cubes and spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt and the tofu to heat through for about 5 minutes.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the spices if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nourishing curry.
