Coming at you with another immune-boosting recipe perfect to nourish our bodies and keep our bellies happy too! I know it might sound a bit weird using apple in a Dahl but it actually works so well! I have used @jazzappleuk which adds a natural sweetness to the dish and makes it extra delicious! This recipe is also perfect for freezing so you can always have a nutritious meal on hand!
Ingredients: (Serves 4)
1 tbsp of coconut oil
1 white onion – finely chopped
3 garlic cloves – crushed
A thumb piece of ginger – grated
A small piece of fresh turmeric – grated
1 tsp of curry powder
1 tsp of cumin powder
1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
1 jazz apple – grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 cup of red split lentils – rinsed
1 can of coconut milk
Salt & pepper to taste
Serve it with:
A squeeze of lime juice, a dollop of coconut yogurt, some chopped coriander & a sprinkle of chilli flakes.
Method
Add the coconut oil to a large pan and place on a medium heat. Once hot, add in the curry powder, cumin & cayenne pepper. Cook for few minutes making sure to keep stirring to prevent from burning.
Add in the chopped onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until the onion start to caramelise.
Add in the grated ginger, turmeric and garlic and cook for another couple of minutes.
Add in the grated apple, lentils and stir to coat. Stir in the coconut milk and 2 cups of water and bring it to boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes until the lentils are soft and you have a creamy consistency.
