INGREDIENTS
100g dry Red Lentils
120ml Light Coconut Milk
40g Cooked Chickpeas
1 cup fresh Spinach
1/2 cup diced Tomatoes
50g chopped Onion
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic.
Stir in the turmeric and cumin powders, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils to the pan and stir to combine with the aromatic mixture.
Pour in the light coconut milk and diced tomatoes, then add a cup of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the curry to cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the cooked chickpeas and spinach. Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and let the curry rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a hearty lunch or dinner.
