Nutritional values
Lentils and tofu provide a particularly large amount of high-quality vegetable protein. Lentils also protect the heart and blood vessels, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
Tofu comes in many different varieties: for a change, try hearty smoked tofu or the particularly aromatic herbal tofu.

Peel onion, garlic and ginger with a vegetable peeler and chop coarsely. Heat oil in a pot and saute onion, garlic and ginger until translucent.

In the meantime, place yogurt in a bowl and squeeze lemon juice into bowl. Rinse the chile pepper, halve lengthwise, remove seeds and ribs and chop pepper finely. Add chile to yogurt mixture and season with salt and pepper.
