INGREDIENTS
0.6 cup Dry Red Lentils (120g)
0.5 cup Light Coconut Milk (120g)
2 cups Fresh Spinach (60g)
0.5 medium Yellow Onion (50g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (2g)
0.5 cup Diced Tomatoes (120g)
1 tsp Coconut Oil (4.5g)
1 tsp Curry Powder
0.5 tsp Turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
Heat a teaspoon of coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, and sauté until the onion softens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed lentils and diced tomatoes to the saucepan, then pour in 1 to 1.5 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the light coconut milk and fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt and the curry to heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with a splash of water if needed.
Serve warm. This creamy coconut lentil curry is delightful for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
