INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry red lentils (100g)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas, drained (82g)
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1/4 cup diced onion (40g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the turmeric, cumin, and coriander to the saucepan, stirring for about 30 seconds to release the spices’ aroma.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk, and stir to combine.
Pour in 1 to 1.5 cups of water, depending on your desired consistency, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the curry to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened.
Stir in the drained chickpeas and let the curry simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat them through.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust spices if necessary.
Serve the creamy red lentil curry hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
