Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups dried mung beans, washed and picked over
2 medium green apples, cored, peeled and chopped
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Pinch ground turmeric (optional)
1/2 cup sliced scallions
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
Juice of 1 lime

1
In a large pot, combine beans, apples and coconut milk.
2
Add enough water to cover.
3
Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn heat down to medium-low so mixture bubbles steadily but not violently.
4
Cook, stirring occasionally and adding salt as beans become tender, until beans are quite soft, 45 to 60 minutes; add water as needed to keep everything moist.
5
When liquid has thickened, put butter or vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it melts and is foamy (or shimmering if using oil).
6
Add coconut, ginger and garlic and cook.
7
Stir frequently and adjust heat to prevent burning, until mixture (called a tarka) crisps and turns golden, 5 to 10 minutes.
8
Add turmeric if using it, then stir in scallions, mint and lime juice.
9
Cook for a minute or two more, then stir butter mixture into pot of beans.
10
Taste, adjust seasoning and serve.
