  • A teaspoon of baking powder
  • A cup of ground split peas
  • A teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1 and 1/3 cups of water

How to Cook Caribbean Pholourie:

  • In a large pot, heat some oil. Then, scoop small pieces of your batter. Drop it into the oil using a tablespoon. Before putting it in the batter, dip your spoon inside a cup of water.The batter will drop quickly into the oil and won’t stick to your spoon. The dough will double in size while it’s getting cooked.
  • Take a fork and flip the dough.This’ll let the other side cook. Your Pholourie will be ready once it floats and has a golden brown color. Get ready to scoop them out quickly — the dough fries up very fast.
  • Place your Pholourie in a bowl lined with some paper towels. The extra oil will be absorbed by the paper towels.
  • Let it cool for a minute or two. Then, serve warm with a bowl of your favorite sauce or chutney.
