Ingredients

• 1 cup split pigeon peas
• to taste peanut butter
• to taste salt
• to taste magadi

Steps

1. Soak split pigeon peas in 1.5 L of warm water for 1 hour.
2. The peas should be plumped up and soft, and the skins that were on some of them should be coming off.
3. Sieve the water into a saucepan (all the flavor is in there).
4. Put the water on the stove to start boiling.
5. Wash the peas.
6. Remove all the skins—they will float easily because of the earlier soaking.
7. Put the peas into the water you placed on the stove.
8. Then add salt and rock salt.
9. Let it boil until the peas are mushy.
10. There will be a froth foaming at the top while it boils—remove it with a ladle.
11. When the peas are mushy, add the peanut butter.
12. Mix.
13. There is a special contraption called ugwech that you can use, but you can also use a hand blender as it is easier and quicker.
14. The peanut butter will make the soup thick, so please add it according to taste and your desired texture.
15. If it becomes too thick you can add hot water to loosen the mixture.
