Ingredients

8oz of yellow split peas

3 tsp of curry powder

½ tsp of mixed ground cumin or grams masala

1 red onion

1 brown onion

4 cloves of garlic crushed

½ oz of ginger

2 tbsp of oil

Method

Boil the split peas as directed on the packet. Drain and put to one side. Fry the onions, the garlic and curry powder until it forms a paste and then add the ginger and water until you get the consistency of gravy. Add the drained peas and let it simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes ensuring it doesn’t dry out – add more water if needed. Add the coriander at the end, stir in and serve.
