Veggie Turmeric Yellow Split Peas

Do you remember the last time you had Cambodian food? I didn’t either, so I’m excited to bring you this delicious recipe with the fresh flavors of authentic Cambodian turmeric paste. Angkor Food’s fresh turmeric is packed with vibrant, juicy, earthy-sweet flavors and has a consistency like grated ginger that's convenient for marinades and curry pastes. You can use it instead of ground turmeric to add complexity to any recipe. I especially love that their fresh ingredients including curry leaves, lime fruit, and chili, come directly from refugee farmers which also provides the farmers with increased consistency of demand. I hope your taste buds enjoy the fresh flavors of Angkor’s turmeric paste in these savory Veggie Turmeric Yellow Split Peas!
