SPLIT PEAS AND CABBAGE

This is an unusual combination of split peas and cabbage that can be served as a main dish with rice or as an accompaniment to meat .
Soak 110 gm of split peas over night in a bowl of water
Next day you will need 1/2 a sugarloaf cabbage ,  that has been cored and sliced roughly .
Now heat a large pan over a medium heat with 3 tbs of rice bran oil .
Add 1 tsp of black mustard seeds and 2 tsp of cumin seeds, heat until the mustards seeds pop .
Add 1 tbs of curry powder or 4 curry leaves and 2 whole dried chillies along with the drained lentils .
Continue to fry for 5 minutes stirring until well combined and aromatic
Add the sliced cabbage and 1 tsp of turmeric
Fry slowly until the cabbage is tender and cooked through .
Lastly season with salt and 1 handful of chopped coriander
You are now ready to serve a nutty , textured veggie dish with Indian flavourings .
