PREPARATION

  • 1

    Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.

  • 2

    In a medium pot, add the rinsed lentils along with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the lentils are tender but not mushy.

  • 3

    Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and dice the tomato.

  • 4

    In a large saucepan, heat a splash of water or a tiny amount of oil if desired. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, then add the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute.

  • 5

    Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, and chili powder, allowing the spices to bloom in the aromatics for about 30 seconds.

  • 6

    Add the diced tomato to the pan and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

  • 7

    In a blender or using a whisk, combine the silken tofu with the light coconut milk until smooth to create a creamy mixture.

  • 8

    Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the creamy tofu-coconut mixture and add the sautéed spice mixture. Mix well to combine.

  • 9

    Fold in the baby spinach and let it wilt for a couple of minutes. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.

  • 10

    Adjust the thickness by adding a splash of water if needed, and serve warm.
