Recipe: Coconut-Apple-Ginger Dal


Coconut-Apple-Ginger Dal
4.5 stars
Bon Appetit Magazine, Nov 2018, p.34

What an easy, healthy dish with a punch of flavor!

Ingredients: onion, garlic, ginger, apple, red lentils, coconut milk, virgin coconut oil, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground turmeric, lime juice, plain yogurt, cilantro leaves, Kosher salt, pepper

Tips/Notes:
  • Only had 1 cup of lentils so cut the water by a cup (the lentils soak up much of the water)
  • Added red pepper flakes since our cayenne has lost some of its heat
  • Chopped up the apple
  • Used lite coconut milk 
  • Left out the toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Note that was on the recipe: Red lentils break down quickly and are done in 20 min -- ideal for a quick soup like this.
