INGREDIENTS
75g dry Red Lentils
2/3 cup Chickpeas
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp grated Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Turmeric
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils and set aside. Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned, or prepare pre-cooked chickpeas.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion softens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric, toasting the spices for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red lentils and chickpeas into the pan, stirring to coat them well with the spices.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, and add a splash of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
In the last couple of minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach until just wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, and serve hot.
