2021 - 52 weeks of doing something different

Week 3 - Followed a Recipe (almost).
Its time to explore my Hodmedod's so I've started with the thing I have the most of - Split Yellow peas.

Couldn't follow the recipe exactly as I didn't have any fresh ginger (used powdered instead); no dried chillies or garlic. I do have elephant garlic but I forgot it at the time.
Also all my spices were years out of date. Haven't added any spinach yet - there's some on the GH and chard - must pick some before this evening's meal.
I burnt the cumin seeds -they're black - and a litre of water for the peas was way too much!! I knew there was a reason why I don't try to cook from a recipe.

I used the strained pea water, to make pea soup for lunch with some leftover mashed potato from last night.
