Method
 

Split pea mix
  1. Add yellow split peas (daal) to the boiling pot of water and cook until softened (approx 30- 45 min) and has a creamy consistency
  2. Add salt, onion powder, pepper and garlic powder to the peas and allow to cool
Green Seasoning
  1. In small blender blend 3 cloves of garlic, ½ cup of chopped cilantro and 1 spring onion along with 2 teaspoons of water
Dough Mix
  1. Bloom the yeast by adding 1 teaspoon of yeast and a 1 teaspoon of sugar into 1/2 cup of warm water. Allow to sit until the top becomes foamy (approx 5 min)
  2. Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, & salt)
  3. Mix in the yeast mix, peas, and green seasoning into the flour mixture. Mix in 3/4 cup of water. If the dough is still dry add about a tablespoon of water at a time until the flour is well incorporated & forms a thick batter (should use no more than 1 cup of total of water).
  4. Cover batter and allow it to proof in a warm place until doubled (will take about 1 hour to 1.5 hours)
  5. Heat oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat to approx 350℉ or until the oil sizzles upon adding a small amount of batter.
  6. Fry the pholourie batter for approx 2-3 min until golden brown
