Ingredients

Split Peas Fritters

  • 1 cup yellow split peas soaked overnight or for at least 4 hours
  • 1 small onion chopped finely
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves chopped finely
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Curry Sauce

  • Coconut oil for light frying
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or 1/4 cup water
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 medium tomato chopped
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Make curry sauce and set aside (recipe below). Drain and rinse split peas. Transfer to a food processor and process until it forms a paste.
  • Transfer to a large bowl, add onion, garlic, cilantro, turmerc, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper a salt and stir to fully combine.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, divide batter and form into balls. Form fritters by flattening balls with the palm of hands. Cook fritters, about 4 at a time for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Turn fritters and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Repeat until batter is used up. I also love to cover the skillet for about 2 minutes midway during cooking to make sure the middle of fritters is fully cooked.
  • Serve immediately with curry sauce, recipe instructions below.

Curry Sauce

  • Heat oil in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, ginger, tomato, turmeric, cumin, paprika, coriander and salt, cook stirring for another minute.
  • Add almond flour and cook stirring for another minute.
  • Add water and bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly. Pulverize in blender to desired consistency!
