PHULAURI

Phulauri is an East - Indian dish made with yellow split peas.

It doesn't require many ingredients.

This snack should preferably be eaten warm and be served with ketchup.

For those who dare, try a hot sauce made from ketchup and some other added ingredients like cayenne -, jalapeño - or chili peppers.

Ingredients:

2½ oz yellow split peas

1 large onion, chopped

5 gloves garlic, crushed

Salt to taste

½ cayenne pepper (or other, without the seeds)

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

Oil for deep - frying

Cooking instructions:

Soak the yellow split peas overnight

Grind the peas with the onion, garlic, salt and cayenne pepper

Also fry the cumin seeds in a skillet for approximately 1 minute; do not add oil or butter

Place a lid on the skillet to prevent cumin seeds from jumping out of the skillet

Then add the seeds to the grind peas and mix thoroughly

Add more salt to taste if it is required

Make marble - sized (a little bigger is possible) balls

Heat oil and deep - fry the phulauri

Serve warm with an additional sauce!
