Elijah's Phulourie recipe

3 servings

2 cups split pea flour

1 cup self-rising flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup water, or as needed

1/2 small onion, minced

2 1/2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green onion, chopped (green part only)

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Sift the split pea flour, self-rising flour, and baking powder into a large bowl.

Stir in turmeric, cumin, and salt.

Gradually stir in enough water to make a very thick batter.

Stir in onion, garlic, and green onion.

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

When the oil is very hot, drop tablespoonfuls of the batter into the pan, and fry until golden brown on both sides.

Remove to paper towels to drain.
