Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups split mung beans
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger chopped fine
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Rinse mung beans and let drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped ginger, turmeric and coriander. Stir until the ginger softens and the spices darken and turn fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  • Stir and let mixture come to boil. Then cover and reduce heat to low for 30 minutes, until liquid is mostly absorbed and beans are tender.
  • Add chopped cilantro and sea salt to taste.
