Method

0 of 8 done
  1. Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear to remove the excess starch.
  2. Chop the tofu into 1 cm cubes. Finely dice half an onion and mince one garlic clove.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
  4. Add the minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, and curry powder to the onions. Stir the spices continuously for 1 minute to release their aromas.
  5. Add the rinsed lentils, coconut milk, tomato paste, water, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. After 15 minutes, add the tofu cubes to the curry and continue simmering for another 5 minutes until the lentils are tender and the tofu is heated through.
  8. Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander.
