Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 This is one of my favorite split pea dhal recipes! It is soooo yummy and warming. 8 oz split peas 2 onions chopped 1 large bay leaf 1 pint or 2 1/2 cups water or stock salt & ground pepper to taste 2 tsp black mustard seeds 2 Tbsp melted butter 1 garlic clove crushed 1 inch cube fresh ginger root grated 1 small green pepper sliced 1 tsp ground turmeric 1 tsp garam masala 3 tomatoes skinned and chopped fresh coriander chopped 1. Put the split peas, 1 onion and the bay leaf in the stock or water, in a covered pan. Simmer for 25 minutes, seasoning lightly towards the end. 2. In a separate pan, fry the mustard seeds in the butter for about 30 seconds or until they start to make a popping noise. Then add all the remaining onion, along with the garlic, ginger and green pepper 3. Saute for about 5 minutes until softened then stir in the remaining spices and fry for a few seconds more. 4. Add the split peas, tomatoes, and a little extra water if needed. Cover and simmer for a further 10 minutes, then check the seasoning and serve hot. Sprinkle chopped corriander on top. This Dish really warms you up on a cold day! This recipe makes quite a lot so you will have lots of yummy leftovers the next day. Enjoy!
