INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Red Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup canned Chickpeas (125g)
3 ounces Extra Firm Tofu (85g)
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk (120g)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables (150g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (120g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon Curry Powder
1 teaspoon Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss your mixed vegetables with a bit of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil (if desired) and roast them on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and cook them in water until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess water.
In a large pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant.
Add the cooked lentils, half a cup of diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and crumbled extra firm tofu to the pan. Stir in the curry powder and cumin, allowing the spices to toast for about 1 minute.
Pour in the light coconut milk, and add the roasted vegetables. Let the curry simmer for another 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together. If the curry appears too thick, splash a little water to adjust the consistency.
Stir in fresh spinach at the end and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat once the spinach wilts.
Serve warm, enjoying this hearty, creamy curry that balances plant-based protein, vibrant vegetables, and aromatic spices.
