Everyone has done split pea soup and I wanted something different. My research led me to Indian curry recipes and I found a classic curry dish, one of India&#8217;s most loved, Chicken Tikka Makhani. My mind began to reel as I tried to figure out how to combine the two completely different ideas. What I came up with uses the yellow split pea and many ingredients found in Chicken Tikka. The spices are classic and the aroma marvelous. I reduced the amount of split peas because of the carbohydrates and included cauliflower and a touch of carrot for sweetness. This soup is absolute heaven in its thick, rich, creamy goodness. It is very satisfying and makes a hearty meal for a cold night. This soup is the unexpected coming together of two entirely different cultures with the melding of two famous dishes and a must try if you are a curry lover. I hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><u><b>Curried Split Pea Soup in the Style of Chicken Tikka<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n<p>\n<u><b>Ingredients:<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 cups yellow split peas, picked through and rinsed<br \/>\n9 cups water<br \/>\n1 1\/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cubed<br \/>\n1 Tbsp. olive oil<br \/>\n1 cup onion, diced<br \/>\n3 cloves garlic, minced<br \/>\n1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, grated<br \/>\n2 to 3 Tbsp. yellow curry powder<br \/>\n1 tsp. turmeric<br \/>\n1 tsp. cumin<br \/>\n1 tsp. chili powder<br \/>\n1 Tbsp. tomato paste<br \/>\n3 cups cauliflower, chopped<br \/>\n1 cup carrots, diced<br \/>\n1 cup tomatoes, diced<br \/>\n3\/4 cup heavy cream<br \/>\n1\/2 cup cilantro, chopped<\/p>\n<p>Place the split peas in a large dutch oven and add the water on medium high heat.
