PHOLOURIE
Ingredients
3 cups flour
¼ cup ground split peas powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 small packet instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp ground geera
½ tsp amchar masala
½ tsp turmeric powder
2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Pinch black pepper
1½ – 2 cups warm water
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions
- In a bowl, add the all the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
- Add the minced garlic and mix into the dry ingredients.
- Add enough warm water to make a soft batter. Cover and let rest for 1½ hours.
- Heat oil in a pot over medium high heat.
- Drop batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil a few at a time. Let cook for a few minutes : the pholourie will float to the surface. Keep turning in the oil for a few minutes until cooked through.
Place the pholourie on a paper towel to drain excess oil. - Serve hot with your choice of chutney.
