Ingredients

Amounts
  • 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
Shopping list

“What I'm missing” leaves off staples you almost certainly have — salt, pepper, oil, water — and anything already in your pantry.
