INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpeas (164g)
150g Firm Tofu
0.5 cup cooked Red Lentils (100g)
1/8 cup Light Coconut Milk (30g)
0.5 cup Diced Tomatoes (90g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 medium Onion (70g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tbsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned, or prepare cooked chickpeas if using dried.
Press the firm tofu lightly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and dice into cubes.
In a large pan, heat a splash of water or light oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant.
Mix in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground turmeric, letting the spices toast for about 30 seconds.
Add the diced tomatoes and stir to combine with the spices.
Pour in the light coconut milk and a splash of water if needed for consistency. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Stir in the chickpeas, cubed tofu, and cooked red lentils. Allow the curry to simmer for 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Fold in the fresh spinach and continue to simmer until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed curry.
