Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium-size onions, chopped
2 medium-size tart apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard seed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound dry split peas
8 cups water, approximately
Juice of 1 lime
Plain yogurt for garnish

Steps:

Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onions, apples, garlic and ginger and saute over medium-low heat until tender but not brown. Stir in curry powder, cumin and mustard seed.
Stir in split peas, add seven cups of the water, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for about one hour, or a little longer, until the peas are tender. Stir in another cup or so of water that will give the soup the proper consistency.
Puree the soup in one or more batches in a food processor. The texture can be more or less smooth, according to your taste. If necessary add additional water.
Return the soup to the saucepan, add the lime juice and check the seasonings. Reheat and serve with a dollop of yogurt spooned into the center of each serving.
