INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (67g)
150g firm tofu
1/4 cup canned chickpeas, drained (40g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes (120g)
1/4 medium onion (30g)
1 clove garlic (3g)
1 tsp fresh ginger (2g)
1.5 cups water
Spices: cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Dice the firm tofu into bite-sized cubes and roughly chop the fresh spinach.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water or use a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, and a pinch each of cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and water, then stir in the rinsed red lentils.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cover. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender.
Gently fold in the tofu cubes and drained chickpeas. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nutrient-packed curry.
