Indian Split Peas with Vegetables

Indian Split Peas with Vegetables
Recipe Tip
Choline Crazy
Choline, a vitamin-like substance, is necessary to make a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine which, as the name implies helps send nerve impulses from cell to cell. Cauliflower is a source of choline.
Success
For a milder dish, use a 4-oz can of drained chilies instead of the jalapeños.
Cooking the spices and chilies in oil heightens the flavors of this savory side. From eatbetteramerica.
