制作步骤

• 1 - Prepare the Split Peas:
  Rinse the yellow split peas thoroughly. Soak them in cool water for at least 1 hour and drain before use.
• 2 - Sauté the Vegetables:
  Heat the olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add onions, fry for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add carrot, leeks, garlic, and ginger; cook for 3-4 more minutes.
• 3 - Bloom the Spices:
  Push veggies aside and add cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander, and curry powder to the pan. Let them sizzle for 1 minute to release their aroma.
• 4 - Add Split Peas and Stock:
  Mix in soaked split peas and bay leaves. Pour in the vegetable stock. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
• 5 - Simmer the Curry:
  Cover and simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes until lentils are soft, stirring occasionally. Add more water if too thick.
• 6 - Add Citrus & Seasonings:
  Stir in lemon zest, orange juice, and lemon juice. Add sea salt and black pepper. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
• 7 - Finish and Garnish:
  Remove bay leaves, adjust salt, and garnish with chopped coriander and chili flakes if desired. Serve piping hot.
