    Incredible!
    I like split peas and I love the addition of garlic, ginger and turmeric. Usually add only carrots and onion. This way is better. - 10/28/15

    Injera is a yeast-risen flat bread with a unique, slightly spongy texture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injera

    I will try the peas tonight, without injera. Thanks for the simple recipe!     - 6/30/10
