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

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.

Add salt, garlic and pepper and let it come to a boil on high heat.

Turn down the heat to medium-low and add tumeric.

Let cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The extended time & heat will melt the garlic so it can be crushed easily.

Add salt to taste, and you're done!

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.
