INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked red lentils
0.5 cup cooked brown rice
0.25 cup light coconut milk
1 cup fresh spinach
0.25 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
0.25 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly sauté the chopped onion in a splash of water or a tiny bit of cooking spray until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, and coriander to toast the spices for another minute.
Mix in the cooked red lentils along with the light coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach desired consistency.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt off the heat to maintain its creaminess.
Serve the creamy red lentil curry over a bed of cooked brown rice and enjoy while warm.
