0.75 cup dry red lentils (150g)
0.33 cup cooked chickpeas (67g)
0.5 cup light coconut milk (120g)
2 cups fresh spinach (60g)
0.5 cup diced tomatoes (120g)

PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils thoroughly under running water.
In a pot, sauté chopped onion in a small splash of water (or a light cooking spray if desired) over medium heat until translucent.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils and spices: ground cumin, turmeric, and coriander, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Pour in water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes until the lentils are tender.
Add the diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and light coconut milk. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the curry.
