Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow split peas, soaked in cold water for 1 hour
- 1 large tomato (about 8 ounces), cut into 8 wedges
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 5 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, finely ground
- 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (I used 1/4, thought it was plenty, although I may be a wuss.)
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves (I abhor cilantro, and always replace it with flat-leaf parsley.)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
