INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry red lentils (approx 100g)
3 ounces firm tofu (approx 85g)
1/3 cup light coconut milk (approx 80g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed red lentils along with 1.5 cups of water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor) to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, until the lentils begin to soften.
Mix in the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, then add the tofu cubes. Simmer the curry for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook just until it wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the creamy red lentil curry warm, ensuring a hearty balance of protein and comforting spices.
