Yemen style from online recipe .this is a heat food so is better
best on a colder day .and is simply delish and healthy .also a sunna food mentioned in the Quran as adasi ,(can read it up in shaAllah)and also used in Middle Eastern ,north african arabia and Asian cuisines ..and maybe other countries if you interested to read up.these raw ones do tend to sprout easily upon storage .and this particular split ones need not soak for overnight or even hours ...just half an hour in warm water and they are ready to cook into those lovely onions and spices .#mycookbook
