Indian Split Pea Curry

Updated: Oct 26, 2018


NAMASTE!

My wandering taste buds took me all the way to South East Asia. I intended to make an Indian Daal i.e. Lentil Curry, but some how I grabbed split peas instead of lentils at the store.

Split peas have a tremendous health benefits. (Click split peas to read more) This recipe is really easy and affordable.

Ingredients:

- Split Peas- 1.5 cups

- Mustard seeds- 1Tbsp

- Cumin powder- 1tsp

- Turmeric powder-1tsp

- Dried red chilies

- Fresh green Chilies

- Coriander leaves

- Onion

- Garlic

- Tomatoes pureed- 1/4 cup

- Vegetable oil

- Salt and pepper


Step 1- Rinse and boil the split peas, allow water level to be the same as the split peas and add as required. Cook uncovered until peas are just softened.


Step 2- In a pan heat up vegetable oil, add mustard seeds and let the seeds pop for 30 seconds in the hot oil.


Step 3- Add turmeric and cumin to the oil allow for 30 seconds, add onion, garlic, dried red chilies and fresh green chilies.



Step 4- Add the seasoned oil to the cooked peas, add tomato sauce and cover to cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.

Step 5- Add salt and pepper to taste.


Enjoy by itself, over steamed rice or with a naan, like I did. See next post for Naan recipe.

Note: You can find ingredients from any specialty supermarket.


Peace!
