We first had this dish in Crete, Greece. It was super tasty and we all craved it going home. I have tried it with both fava bean and yellow split pea and I have to say both are very nice. I do not use oil in mine so the tradition ones is far more creamier. Adding cashew would help give a creamy texture.
