Was very excited to try this recipe out. I think that next time I will add the split peas first to start cooking at least 30 minutes before I add the potato. I found that the potato was losing its "appeal" while the peas were still tasting "grainy/uncooked". To keep things interesting I added a bunch of cauliflower. All together the flavoures are amazing in how they work together. I was (really) worried that it would be too spicy but it turned out spicy enough to keep me on my toes but not so spicy as to be inedible. If you like a very spicy meal then up the portions of the spices, if you like spicy on the mild side then follow the recipe. I will definitely make this again!! Thank you!
