INGREDIENTS
50g Red Lentils
100g Canned Chickpeas (drained)
150g Firm Tofu
100g Cauliflower
100g Broccoli
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
50g Chopped Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Mixed Spices (cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the vegetables.
Toss cauliflower and broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Rinse the red lentils and add them to a small saucepan with water (about twice the volume of lentils). Bring to a simmer and cook until they soften, about 15-20 minutes.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until softened and fragrant.
Add the mixed spices (cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika) and stir for about 30 seconds to bloom the flavors.
Crumble the firm tofu into the pan and stir well to lightly brown.
Mix in the diced tomatoes, light coconut milk, and drained chickpeas. Allow the curry base to simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked red lentils to the curry mixture and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Gently fold in the roasted cauliflower and broccoli, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the creamy red lentil curry warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
