INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Red Lentils (198g)
0.5 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
0.5 cup Firm Tofu (100g)
0.5 medium Onion (55g)
2 cloves Garlic (12g)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (2g)
0.5 cup Crushed Tomatoes (122g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
0.25 cup Light Coconut Milk (60g)
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
1.5 cups Water
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the red lentils and chickpeas if using canned, or prepare them ahead of time if cooking from dry.
Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture and dice into cubes.
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a large pan, heat a splash of water or a light cooking spray over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in garlic, ginger, cumin powder, and turmeric powder. Sauté briefly until aromatic.
Add the crushed tomatoes and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Mix in the red lentils, chickpeas, and tofu cubes. Allow the curry to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure lentils soften and flavors meld.
When the lentils are tender, stir in the fresh spinach and light coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the curry simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the flavors are well combined.
Serve hot, and enjoy this hearty, nutrient-rich curry for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
