INGREDIENTS
120g dry red lentils
1/2 cup light coconut milk
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cumin and turmeric powders, letting the spices bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed red lentils and light coconut milk to the pan. Pour in 1 cup of water and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the curry to cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and have absorbed much of the liquid.
Season with salt and black pepper. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
