Ingredients
  • 1 cup of split peas (green or yellow... green gives a nicer flavour)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • salt to taste
  • 1 hot pepper, optional
  • 1 teaspoon saffran/tumeric

Directions
  1. Add split peas in a pot and cover with water (you can soak the split peas for a few hours prior to cooking, but it's not necessary - unless you want to lower your actual cooking time). 1 cup of split peas might need about 3 cups of water. You can always add more later, depending on how thick you want the dhal to be.
  2. Add salt, garlic and pepper and let it come to a boil on high heat.
  3. Turn down the heat to medium-low and add tumeric.
  4. Let cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The extended time & heat will melt the garlic so it can be crushed easily.
  5. Add salt to taste, and you're done!
  6. I use a swizzle stick to stir because I like the split peas crushed almost completely... more like a thick soup. I'll add a picture of what a swizzle-stick looks like.
