    Spiced yellow split pea fritters called Baya Kyaw in Myanmar (Burma) are easy to make and really delicious hot out of the oil.

    They are especially good with the dipping sauce that is a little hot, sweet and sour.

    The fritters are spiced up with chili pepper but also seasoned with cumin and turmeric.

    These make a lovely appetizer for any occasion.

    The only thing to keep in mind is the yellow split peas need to be soaked overnight before using them in the recipe so be sure to plan ahead.

    Also if you plan on making the whole meal including the fermented tea leaf salad, that recipe also calls for yellow split peas that need to be soaked as well.
