Instructions

  1. Cook split peas in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, following packet instructions, or until just tender. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, curry leaves, coriander, cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric and half the chilli, stirring, for 5–7 minutes or until onion has softened.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Pappadums (cooked in the microwave without oil). TIPS: You can use yellow split peas or a mixture of green and yellow split peas. Store any leftovers (without coriander and remaining chilli) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a little water if it’s too thick.
