Рецепт GUYANESE PHOLOURIE
As a young girl this was one of my favorite street foods to buy as a snack while at school. It was a joy to dip the light, deep fried split pea fritters in a hot mango sour(our name for chutney). Happy, happy, joy, joy…today it transports me back to the many lunch breaks I spent standing on a long line in the hot sun, hoping to purchase some Pholourie. This is snack reflects our very alive and dominant Indian culture in Guyana. Since living in the US, I’ve had a few bad Pholourie that I’ve bought from so-called Guyanese restaurants. My mom makes the best, so when I decided to blog about it, I turned to her for a recipe. Needless to say I didn’t get a recipe, I received a lot of about this, around that. She gave me the basics and I had to use my god given sense and talents and make it work, and work it did. I was so surprised that on my very first try I’ve successfully make great tasting Pholourie, and this I share with you.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- 2 scallion
- 1 hot red pepper
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup yellow split peas flour or 1/2 cup yellow split peas soaked overnight
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 scallion finely (optional)

Instructions
If using split pea flour: in either a mortar and pestle or food processor, grind scallion, pepper and garlic into a fine paste, set aside.
Mix flours, cumin, turmeric and salt. In a separate bowl mix 1 cup warm water with yeast, leave for 10 minutes. Mix yeast, crushed garlic/scallion/pepper paste into dry ingredients. Allow it to rise for 40 minutes.
Heat enough canola oil in a pan to allow deep frying, about 3 inches of oil. When oil is hot, drop tablespoon amounts into hot oil, turn when edges are brown. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, remove from oil and drain.
Serve with mango sour or apple chutney.
