1. Soak the peas overnight in water to cover by 2 inches, then drain. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat and add the cumin and mustard seeds they should splutter upon contact with the hot oil, so lower the heat and cover the pan until the spluttering subsides. Quickly add the red chili peppers, garlic, tomatoes, onion, asafoetida, and turmeric, and cook, stirring, until most of the juices evaporate about 15 minutes.
2. Add the drained peas, salt, and 4 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until the peas are tender and the sauce thick, about 1 hour, adding the remaining 1 cup water as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, mix in the coconut oil (or ghee or vegetable oil), and serve.
