Pholourie (Fried Split-Pea Fritters)

Method

1. 1

   Whisk both flours, turmeric, garlic, baking powder, salt and water into a thick batter; rest 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Beat the batter hard for a minute to lighten it.

   💡 The beating is the fluff — lazy batter fries into golf balls.

3. 3

   Drop spoonfuls into 170°C oil and fry until deep gold, rolling them over.

4. 4

   Simmer tamarind, sugar, a pinch of salt and water into a glossy dip.

5. 5

   Serve hot, sauce in the middle, everyone double-dipping.
