Creamy Coconut Lentil Curry
Savor a warming, hearty bowl of creamy coconut lentil curry bursting with aromatic ginger, garlic, and spices. This luscious curry offers a delightful mix of textures from tender lentils, soft tofu, and chickpeas immersed in a light coconut milk sauce, delivering both comfort and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
80 grams red lentils
120 ml light coconut milk
50 grams chickpeas
50 grams firm tofu
50 grams onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp olive oil
0.5 tsp turmeric powder
0.5 tsp cumin powder
0.5 tsp coriander powder
Pinch of salt
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger; sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red lentils and stir to coat them with the spices. Pour in the light coconut milk and add enough water (or vegetable broth) to cover the lentils by about an inch.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the chickpeas and cubed tofu. Allow the curry to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened slightly.
Season with a pinch of salt to taste. Adjust spices if needed. If the curry becomes too thick, add a splash more water.
Serve warm as a hearty and nourishing meal.
