Ingredients

• •2 cups yellow split peas, rinsed
• •6 cups water
• •1 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• •2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• •1/3 cup vegetable oil
• •4 pieces naan bread

Directions

1. 1Simmer the yellow split peas with water, turmeric, and salt for 35–40 minutes until tender.
2. 2Heat vegetable oil and fry the onions for 12 minutes until deeply golden.
3. 3Drain any excess water from the peas and mash them lightly.
4. 4Reserve half the fried onions and stir the rest into the peas.
