Split Pea-Spinach Dal with Cauliflower
Yield
6 servings (serving size: 2/3 cup)
Throughout India, a meal is not complete without some variation of this spice-tempered legume dish. Cumin and turmeric provide slightly bitter notes, but this dish has an overall salty-savory flavor. Split-pea spinach dal with cauliflower is more of a stew than a soup; for a thinner version, decrease the final simmering time.

- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups chopped cauliflower florets
