Dal 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!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the split peas few times, set aside
- 2
Using pressure cooker: add vegetable oil, stir fry onions and a pinch of salt and sauté until softened, 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Stir in garlic, ginger, coriander, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add split peas, water, tomatoes, salt and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pressure cooker.
- 5
Cover and seal the lid. Cook it for 10 minutes
- 6
Once the 10 minutes are up, allow the pressure to release naturally
- 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.
- 8
Serve with basmati rice, or wrap (add chicken,spinach and use the dal for the spread. Super yummy!)
