Modified Split Pea Dal

---

Ingredients:

• 1 cup yellow split peas (uncooked)
• 2 cups water (or chicken broth)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1 onion (diced, I chose chives for colour)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin (whole seeds or ground)
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 1 tsp curry

Instructions:

• In a large pot, place the uncooked yellow split peas and the water or vegetable broth, and bring to a slow simmer
• Add the spices
• Cook for at least 30 minutes, covered, until the yellow split peas are fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
• You can also continue to cook your dal for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, if you prefer, to allow the yellow split peas to break up and have a smoother texture. 
• Once the split peas are done, stir in your vegan margerine( or alternative butter/oil of choice)
• Enjoy!
