Today I worked and then immediately went to a class, and didn't get home till five thirty. Needless to say, EXHAUSTED! But, because I'm a clever kid, I remembered this morning to soak a cup and a half of yellow split peas in about three cups of boiling water before I left the house, because then I could rest easy about dinner.
This is such an easy meal and works with a variety of things.
Because I'm scraping the bottom of the cupboard I'm going to add peas for a bit of green. If I had spinach, I would either add that during cooking around where I'd add the peas, or, I'd cook it up separately with some garlic and fenugreek leaves. Also, I will be serving the dahl with roti, but it works just as well with any of the usual suspects: naan, rice, fruity nut rice (I love that stuff)... yeah.
To the recipe!
