Directions
Green Split Pea Dhal,Exotic yet cheep to make, this beautiful soup smells like an Indian restaraunt while it cooks, and fills you up like a meal! with the healthy fiber and protein of split peas and the vitamins and minerals of carrots, spinach, and tomatos, all in a curry base that can blow your socks off if you choose, this is one of my favorite winter and spring survival foods.,Absolutely delicious! I almost gave this 4 stars because I felt the ratio of water was too much and my cooking time was longer than stated, but its just too tasty not to deserve 5 stars. used only 1 + 1/2 cups of water but perhaps this was because used dried whole peas which I had slightly pre-cooked as I had no split peas on hand. I also used minced cayenne peppers in place of jalapeno (what I had on hand) and fresh spinach, finely diced. The amount of spice may seem like a lot to some people, but don’t be afraid people, this is perfectly spiced. Thank you Brother for a keeper for sure! :),Absolutely delicious!
