Dal Ingredients:

• ¾ cup yellow split peas
• 3 – 3½ cups water
• ½ tsp turmeric
• ¼ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ – ½ tsp sea salt
• Black pepper to taste
• Cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Garlic Butter Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp butter
• ¾ tsp ground cumin
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Chili flakes to taste

Instructions:

Place split peas in a saucepan, add water, turmeric, coriander, sea salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Boil gently for 30-45 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently. Add water if needed to keep peas from burning. Melt butter in a skillet. Add cumin, garlic, and chili flakes. Cook until garlic is browned. Pour butter over the dal and mix well. Spoon into bowls, top with cilantro, and serve.
