INGREDIENTS
1 cup chickpeas (canned, low sodium)
250g firm tofu
1/3 cup lite coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt, pepper, and red chili flakes to taste
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Press the tofu lightly and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large skillet or saucepan, warm a splash of water or a light oil alternative over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, and red chili flakes. Let the spices bloom for about 30 seconds to enhance their flavor.
Add the tofu cubes and chickpeas to the pan. Gently stir to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and lite coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
Add the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tofu absorbs the curry flavors.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust any spices if needed.
Serve hot, either on its own or paired with a small serving of brown rice or quinoa if extra carbs are desired (note: additional sides will adjust overall calorie counts).
