Cozy up with a spicy Indian jalfrezi curry to beat the winter chill.

Ingredients:

375.00 ml yellow split peas, washed
1 large brown onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled, finely diced
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2.00 red bird's eye chilli, finely chopped
30.00 ml ground turmeric
7.20 gm sea salt
400g can diced tomatoes
40.00 ml chopped fresh coriander leaves
36.80 gm grapeseed oil
20g butter
1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
5.90 gm black mustard
12 fresh curry leaves (see note)
1 small brown onion, halved, thinly sliced

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, bring 2.5 litres of cold water to a boil. Add split peas and simmer for 5 minutes, skimming off foam. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in onion, carrot, garlic, chilli, and turmeric. Simmer for 1 hour until split peas break down. Season with salt and stir well before serving.
Prepare spice mix: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine oil and butter until melted. Stir in cumin and mustard seeds, cooking until fragrant for about 1 minute. Add curry leaves and cover, cooking for an additional 30 seconds. Stir in onions and cook until golden, for about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and chili, cooking until garlic is golden, for about 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside half of the mixture in a bowl.
Place fresh, ripe tomatoes into a pan and bring them to a gentle boil. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine the tomato mixture with the soup, stirring well. Add fresh coriander and mix it in. Finally, ladle the delicious soup into bowls, generously sprinkling the remaining spice mixture on top before serving with roti on the side. Enjoy your flavorful creation!
