INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dried red lentils (64g)
150g extra-firm tofu
1/3 cup chickpeas (50g)
1/2 cup light coconut milk (120ml)
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1/4 cup chopped onion (40g)
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
1.5 cups water
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Press the extra-firm tofu gently to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water or a teaspoon of oil if desired, then sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing the spices to bloom for a minute.
Add the red lentils, chickpeas, and tofu into the pan. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Mix in the light coconut milk and diced tomatoes. Allow the curry to simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
In the last few minutes of cooking, add the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
