Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 g yellow split peas
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 400 g can chopped tomatoes
  • 500 ml vegetable stock
  • 500 ml water
  • 2 handfuls of spinach leaves
  • vegetable oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • fresh coriander to serve

Instructions
 

  • Rinse yellow split peas under water. Set aside.
    200 g yellow split peas
  • Heat some vegetable oil in a large saucepan.
    vegetable oil
  • Add cumin seeds, turmeric, mustard seeds and cayenne pepper. Fry gently for 2-3 mins.
    1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Add finely chopped onion, grated ginger and crushed garlic. Fry gently for another 3 mins until onion is soft.

  • Add yellow split peas, chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock and water to the saucepan.
    400 g can chopped tomatoes , 500 ml vegetable stock , 500 ml water
  • Cook half covered for around 45mins under medium heat. Stir often so the peas do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • When you are happy with the consistency of the yellow split peas (I like mine still holding their shapes) add spinach leaves to the pan and cook for a few minutes until wilted.

  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Top with fresh coriander leaves just before serving.
