INGREDIENTS
75 grams red lentils (dried)
100 grams firm tofu
0.5 cup cooked chickpeas (≈82 grams)
0.25 cup light coconut milk (≈60 grams)
0.5 cup diced tomatoes
0.25 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
5 grams fresh ginger
1 cup fresh spinach
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly in cold water and set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a splash of water or a tiny amount of oil if desired.
Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Add diced tofu and cook for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the edges.
Stir in the red lentils, cooked chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and curry powder, mixing well with the aromatics.
Pour in the light coconut milk and add about 1/2 cup of water to help the lentils cook evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally.
In the final 5 minutes, fold in the fresh spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the spinach wilts and the curry reaches your desired consistency, remove from heat and serve warm.
