Cooking time: 30minutes
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons coconut oil
1 cup split mung beans, dried
1.5 cups broth or water
2 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted and ground salt, to taste
1avocado, cubed
Directions:
Heat a pot with coconut oil and add mung beans, spices and herbs.
Stir for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add broth and coconut milk.
Chop cilantro. Add to the pot and stir.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a medium-low flame and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until mung beans are soft.
If you want your mung beans to be thicker like the consistency of refried beans, cook longer.
