Spiced Dal

1 1/2 cups yellow split peas
4 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons vegan margarine
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
6 whole cloves

Boil peas in salted water until very soft and the water has been absorbed (about 30 minutes).
Heat margarine in a saucepan, and add the spices to it. Stir for a few minutes, then remove from heat.
Pour the peas into the margarine and spices. Return to the heat, stirring often, and let simmer until the consistency is fairly thick.
