Kae Atar Wot is a green pea stew.

In pan, cook peas in 3½ cups of the water over low heat for about ½ hour, or until the peas are soft and the water has almost completely evaporated. Set aside.

In dry pan, stir fry onions 2 mins, add the oil and stir fry 2 mins more. Add the remaining 1/2c water, the tomato paste, chow, and salt, and continue to stir.

Add the split peas and mix well over moderate heat for 3 mins, until everything is reduced to a thick, well seasoned puree.

Serve warm with Injeera.
