INGREDIENTS
50g Red Lentils (raw)
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk
0.75 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
100g Extra Firm Tofu
2 cups fresh Spinach
0.5 cup Diced Tomatoes (canned)
0.25 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Garam Masala
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and drain well.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and chop the tofu into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, sauté the diced onion in a splash of water or a light cooking spray until softened.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and garam masala to the onions. Stir for a minute until fragrant.
Pour in the light coconut milk and add the red lentils and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the lentils soften.
Add the chickpeas and cubed tofu, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes so the tofu warms through.
Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the curry.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed red lentil and spinach curry.
