Ingredients

2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp ginger root, peeled and minced
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp. turmeric
2 tbl. paprika
1/2 to 2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 lb split green peas or yellow lentils
4 cups water or stock
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. Puree onion, garlic, and ginger in a food processor or blender.
2. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
3. Add turmeric, paprika and cayenne pepper and stir rapidly to color oil and cook spices through, about 30 seconds.
4. Add onion puree and sauté on medium heat until excess moisture evaporates and onion loses its raw aroma, about 5-10 minutes. Do not burn.
5. Add lentils or peas and water. Bring to a boil and simmer until lentils are cooked through and fall apart, about 30-40 minutes. Add water if necessary to keep from drying out.
6. Stir in salt and pepper to taste and serve.
