Yellow Split Pea Dal With Tomato And Cilantro

 

4 cups water

1 cup yellow split peas, sorted, rinsed

1 bay leaf

1/2 cup finely diced onion

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 cup Roma tomatoes, seeded, diced fine

1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

In a saucepan, place the water, split peas, and bay leaf, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 30 minutes or until the split peas are

tender and most of the water has been absorbed.

Meanwhile in a small non-stick skillet, saute the onion in olive oil for 5

minutes or until well browned. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, and turmeric, and

saute for an additional 1 minute while stirring constantly. Add the tomato and

saute for an additional 2 minutes.

Add the onion mixture, cilantro, and salt to the cooked split peas and

slightly mash with the back of a spoon while stirring in the final ingredients.

Transfer to a glass bowl and serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature with

an assortment of vegetables, or breads such as chapatis or pitas.

Makes 3 cups.
