INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils (198g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
100g firm tofu
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60ml)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1/4 medium onion (30g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1 tsp grated ginger (5g)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
If starting with dry red lentils and chickpeas, cook them separately until tender. Alternatively, use pre-cooked lentils and chickpeas for convenience.
In a large saucepan, heat a light drizzle of water or a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Mix in the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, stirring well to combine.
Add the cooked red lentils and chickpeas, stirring to ensure they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Gently fold in the cubed firm tofu, being careful not to break it up.
Simmer the curry on low heat for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Add a splash of water if the sauce appears too thick.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm. This curry can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a side of steamed greens or quinoa.
