Creamy Red Lentil Curry with Tofu & Chickpeas
A vibrant and hearty curry that combines red lentils, crispy tofu, and tender chickpeas in a creamy spiced tomato base. This dish delivers a comforting blend of flavors with a silky coconut milk finish and fresh spinach, perfect for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry Red Lentils
1/2 cup canned Chickpeas (drained)
1/2 cup Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 cup Spinach
1 medium Tomato
1/4 cup chopped Yellow Onion
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon grated Fresh Ginger
2 teaspoons mixed Spices (Cumin, Turmeric, Coriander, Garam Masala)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the mixed spices and let them bloom for about 30 seconds to a minute.
Add the red lentils and 1.5 cups of water to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, until the lentils start softening.
Gently fold in the chickpeas, diced tomato, and extra-firm tofu (cut into cubes). Continue to simmer for another 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Pour in the light coconut milk and add the spinach. Stir well and let the curry simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tofu absorbs some spice.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed red lentil curry.
