INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup dry Red Lentils (~150g)
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk (~120g)
2 cups Fresh Spinach
100g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 medium Onion
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tbsp Red Curry Paste
1 cup Vegetable Broth
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a tiny drizzle of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant and softened.
Add the red curry paste to the pot, stirring for about a minute to release its flavors.
Stir in the rinsed lentils and diced tomatoes, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the lentils are tender and have absorbed much of the liquid.
Cube the firm tofu and gently fold it into the simmering lentils along with the light coconut milk. Allow the curry to heat through for 3-5 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, enjoying the creamy, tangy, and spicy flavors of this nourishing curry.
