Indian Kale and Split Peas

2 tbsp oil
2 onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup yellow split peas, rinsed
1 cup water (more if needed)
1 tomato, diced
1 tsp tumeric
salt to taste
1 bunch kale, rinsed and chopped (stems removed, optional)

1. Heat margarine in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic for 5-7 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add garam masala and chili powder and fry for 1 minute.

2. Add split peas, water, tomato, tumeric, and salt and bring to bubbling. Let bubble for 5 minutes, then add kale. Stir until wilted, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, until split peas are cooked. Check periodically to stir, adding more water if too dry.
