INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils (198g)
150g firm tofu
1/3 cup lite coconut milk (80g)
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (90g)
1/2 medium yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the red lentils if using dry ones, then cook them in water until tender. Drain and set aside.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture and cut into bite-sized cubes.
Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a medium saucepan, heat a small splash of water or broth over medium heat and sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until translucent and fragrant.
Add the curry powder and ground cumin to the pan, stirring briefly to toast the spices.
Pour in the lite coconut milk and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine with the spices.
Gently add the cooked lentils and tofu cubes to the sauce. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy coconut lentil curry.
