INGREDIENTS
80g dry red lentils
50g canned chickpeas (drained)
100g firm tofu
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and drain well.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water or a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the curry powder, ensuring the spices coat the aromatics evenly and toast for about 1 minute.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and light coconut milk. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the tofu cubes and drained chickpeas.
Cook the curry on low to medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld together. If the curry thickens too much, add a splash of water.
In the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach until just wilted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
