INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dried red lentils (approx 65g)
150g firm tofu, cubed
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp chopped cilantro (garnish)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
In a medium saucepan, heat a small amount of water or a light oil spray. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed red lentils, chopped tomato, and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook the lentils for about 15 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally.
Gently fold in the cubed tofu and light coconut milk, simmering for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Stir in the fresh spinach until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.
