Note
Usli Ghee is clarified butter with a nutty aroma. For a vegan version, substitute with a neutral oil or vegan butter.
Ensure split peas are fully cooked before adding them to the soup to maintain texture and prevent grittiness.
Adjust the amount of cream or milk based on how thick you prefer your soup. For a lighter version, use vegetable broth instead of cream.
Fresh coriander (cilantro) adds a bright, citrusy finish. If unavailable, fresh parsley is a suitable alternative.
