INGREDIENTS
80 grams Red Lentils
100 grams Firm Tofu
100 mL Light Coconut Milk
0.5 cup cooked Brown Rice (~100g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.25 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, minced
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
0.5 tsp Salt
1.5 cups Water
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cube it.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water over medium heat and add the diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders, and let the spices bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the red lentils, tofu cubes, light coconut milk, and water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Fold in the fresh spinach and season with salt. Allow the spinach to wilt into the curry, about 2 minutes.
While the curry simmers, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Serve the creamy lentil curry over a bed of brown rice, and enjoy the balanced flavors and textures of this nourishing dish.
