Lentil, Tofu, Kale Curry


This curry dish highly aromatic and flavourful, due to the use of fennel seeds. As they are cooked they release their flavour, similar to anise and liquorice.

As fennel has such a distinct flavour, half the amount of seeds can be used instead of one whole tablespoon.

This dish is only 198 calories, low fat and a great source of fibre (12g) and protein (15g)! I ate two servings in one day as it was so tasty - a bowl for lunch and another for dinner, along with some soup.

I recently posted another curry recipe that uses tofu and kale: Pumpkin, Kale, Ginger, Tofu Curry
