purple_aciedDal with Split Peas (pressure cooker)
Bought yellow split mung bean/split peas, thinking to make some sweet dessert (tau suan) or ang ku kueh (kueh is a malay/indonesian word for cake) with it but so so lazy 😂 so kept it for quite some time in the storage drawer. But recently, I am more aware of the food i eat. Try to reduce sugary food/dessert or sweet treats and finally decided to make this dal. High in protein, and i guess it is much healthier than sweet kue/desserts i originally planned to make :) very fast and easy to make and tastes really yummy too!
Ingredient
2 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1 pcs
onion chopped
3 cloves
garlic, finely grated/minced
2 teaspoons
ground corriander
1 teaspoon
ground tumeric
1 teaspoon
ground cummin
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper/more if you can take the heat
1.5 cups
yellow dried split peas
3 cups
water
2 pcs
tomatoes, chopped
To taste
Salt
1/2 cup
plain greek yogurt
To taste
kosher salt and black pepper
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Wash the split peas few times, set aside
* Step 2
Using pressure cooker: add vegetable oil, stir fry onions and a pinch of salt and sauté until softened, 5-7 minutes.
* Step 3
Stir in garlic, ginger, coriander, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne and cook for another minute until fragrant.
* Step 4
Add split peas, water, tomatoes, salt and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pressure cooker.
* Step 5
Cover and seal the lid. Cook it for 10 minutes
* Step 6
Once the 10 minutes are up, allow the pressure to release naturally
* Step 7
Open the lid, stir in the cilantro (i didn’t have cilantro at that moment so i didn’t use it) and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
* Step 8
Serve with basmati rice, or wrap (add chicken,spinach and use the dal for the spread. Super yummy!)
