Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

In a large bowl, cover the split peas with water by at least 1 inch. Soak for at least 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

02

Step
40 mins

Drain the soaked split peas and transfer them to a large pot. Add 4 cups of water, turmeric, ground dried chile pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, adding more water as needed to maintain desired consistency, until the split peas are tender. (30-40 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Stir in the lemon juice and tomato paste. Increase heat to medium and cook until the soup thickens slightly. (10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the minced garlic and cumin seeds until the garlic turns golden brown and fragrant. Stir the infused oil into the soup. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water.
The soup's flavor intensifies as it sits, making it a great make-ahead dish.
Adjust the amount of chili pepper to your preference.
