Here is how you make Dhal (curried split peas):

Note that cooking time does NOT include soaking time.Soak split peas in water 3-4 hours or by quick method. (Quick method: bring to boil, boil 2 minutes, then move pot to countertop or back of stove & allow to sit 1 hour.)Add turmeric, cayenne, & salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover partially, & simmer 20-30 minutes. Peas should end up tender & starting to disintegrate.

Serve over white or brown rice.The cloves & peppercorns add delightful little bursts of flavor--go ahead & eat them rather than fishing them out!Serves 8 (about 1/2 c. servings).Adapted from More with Less Cookbook.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RUTHXG.
