Method

Rinse the split peas thoroughly and set aside. Heat the oil or butter in a large pot and sauté the chopped onions until they turn golden, then add the ginger, garlic, and green chillies, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Add the turmeric powder and stir well to coat the aromatics. Add the rinsed split peas and pour in the water, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas have completely broken down into a smooth, porridge-like consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the thickness with extra water if needed.
