  • 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, and cook for 3 or 4 minutes until softened.

  • 2. Add mustard seeds, cumin, coriander and turmeric to the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes until fragrant.

  • 3. Add split peas, tomatoes and stock. Bring to a simmer for 30 minutes, until the peas start to soften.

  • 5. Add coconut cream and cook heat through.

  • 6. Just before serving add fresh coriander. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 7. To make the roti: Place the flours and salt in a bowl, add 180ml warm water and 1 teaspoon oil and mix to combine to a dough. Roll 8 balls into 14cm circles. Heat a frying pan with a splash of oil. Fry the roti for 2 or 3 minutes each side until they bubble slightly and are golden. Repeat until they are all cooked.
