Yellow Split Pea Dhal Recipe
Dhal, sometimes spelled dahl or dal, is a staple of Indian vegetarian cuisine. This easy recipe is for a basic vegetarian and vegan yellow split-pea dhal. Serve with rice, or, add extra liquid to make a more soup-like dhal. Caution - it's got a bit of a kick!
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup yellow split peas, uncooked
* 2 cups water or vegetable broth
* 1 tsp turmeric
* 1/4 tsp cayenne
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 tbsp margarine
* 1 onion, diced
* 11/2 tsp cumin, whole seeds or ground
* 2 whole cloves
* dash pepper, to taste
PREPARATION:
In a large pot, place the peas and water or vegetable broth, and bring to a slow simmer. Add the turmeric, cayenne and salt, and cover. Allow to cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the onion, cumin and clove in the margarine.
Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until onion is soft. Add the onion and spices to the split peas, and allow to simmer for at least 5 more minutes.
Add a dash of pepper and more salt, if desired, and serve hot with rice or alone in a soup bowl.
This Indian food recipe is both vegetarian and vegan.
