Chole Chickpea Stew with Collard Greens and M’smen Bread

This recipe uses a dollop of fresh coconut yogurt to complement the classic array of spices and give the dish a cool, satisfying smoothness. Coconut yogurt (not to be confused with coconut flavored yogurt) is dairy-free, made only from rich coconut milk, coconut water and the natural cultures found in normal yogurt. It is uniquely flavorful and velvety, with the slightly sweet, unmistakable undertone of coconut.
