Split Pea Dahl
I simply love Indian food. I’ve actually been on an Indian kick this week because we had a cold front in South Florida. The temperatures actually dipped well into the 50′s. This semi-cold weather always makes me crave hot and spicy food, like curries. I decided to make Dahl.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, cut into small dice
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
8 cups water
14 oz dried yellow split peas
1. In a large pot, saute the onion in olive oil over medium heat until translucent.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, spices and salt. Saute for 2 minutes.
3. Add the water and split peas. Cover and bring to a boil.
4. Once water starts to boil, lower heat and simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
I try to keep all my meals low on sodium, so feel free to add as much salt as you like. Jose and I both loved this this. You can serve it with brown rice, whole wheat pitas or both.

That looks delicious.
I don’t add sea salt to that many of my dishes. I don’t miss it.
I’m going to try this one SOON! Looks amazing!
What other kinds of peas or beans could you use instead of yellow split peas?
That was delicious, thank you for the recipe
