Elijah’s Phulourie

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

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.
