Yellow split peas are a legume often used in Indian cuisine.
In India, they are often used as a side dish for Dal (dhal), a porridge of lentils or split peas flavoured with turmeric.
Yellow split peas can be cooked and crushed to make soups and dals. In traditional European dishes, peas and ham are used to make pea pudding. Yellow split peas are also often used in dals (Indian dishes made from a variety of pulses).
Yellow split peas are nutritious and filling and can be a comforting warm food on a cold winter's day.
Yellow split peas are often called yellow lentils. Due to their distinctive taste, vegetarians and vegans can also use them as a meat substitute.
