Jazz Apple and Ginger Dahl
Add the coconut oil to a large pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the curry and cumin powders and cayenne pepper, and cook for a few minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
Add the onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the onion starts to caramelise and turn golden.
Add the ginger, turmeric and garlic and cook for another couple of minutes. Add the apple and lentils and stir to mix.
Stir in the coconut milk and 500ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are soft and the consistency is creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.
Serve with a squeeze of lime juice and top with a dollop of coconut yoghurt, chopped coriander and some chilli flakes.
