| 1. Add water, thoor dhal (or yellow split peas), and turmeric to a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. | 2. Turn heat down, cover pan, and simmer for about 30 minutes (45 minutes for split peas); do not stir. | 3. If bubbles begin to spill over, remove cover until bubbles subside. | 4. While the dhal cooks, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and crushed red pepper to a heavy 3-quart saucepan, cover and cook over medium-high heat until mustard seeds begin to pop. | 5. Turn heat down to medium, add onion, garlic, and peppers, and saute until onion is soft (about 5 minutes). | 6. Add tomatoes and cook until they are soft (but not so long that they begin to lose their shape). | 7. When dhal is completely tender, mash it and add it to the tomato mixture. | 8. Add salt and bring to a boil. | 9. Add more water if necessary; consistency should be roughly that of thick soup. | 10. Simmer for 2 minutes. | 11. Remove from heat and granish with chopped cilantro. | 12. Serve over rice. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
