2 teaspoons kosher salt |
4 tablespoons ghee or 4 tablespoons canola oil |
1 teaspoon cumin seed |
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
2 tablespoons cilantro |
Directions:
1. Wash and rinse the peas in three changes of water.
2. Bring to a boild in 4 Cups of water then reduce the heat to medium-low to keep the peas simmering.
3. Cook for an hour or until peas are cooked and tender.
4. In the mean time add the ghee (or oil) to a medium sized skillet at medium-high heat.
5. Once ghee is hot add cumin seeds and ground pepper and tumeric for 10-15 seconds.
6. Next add the onion and cook until brown 10-15 minutes.
7. When the onion mixture is cooked add to the split peas.
8. Now deglaze the skillet you cooked the onion in with ~1/4 cup of water and add this to the split peas.
9. Garnish with cilantro and serve with naan or your favorite other bread.
