  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped finely plus extra for garnish
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • After the yellow split peas have soaked overnight, drain them and take half and put in a food processor or blender with about 1 tablespoon of water and process until smooth
  • Add the remaining peas and process until still slightly chunky
  • Mix the peas with all the other ingredients except the oil and set aside for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil to medium high, in a skillet or wok.
  • Use your hands to make the fritters just about a tablespoon of batter and make into a disc shape.
  • Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry them until golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove and place them on a paper towel to absorb any extra oil
  • Serve with the dipping sauce and sprinkle with salt and cilantro to garnish.
