Mix split peas powder with all ingredients except water. Add enough water to make a thick batter.  Heat oil in heavy pot.

Drop batter, a teaspoon at a time into the hot oil, and let cook until brown. Drain and test one for salt and dryness. If too dry add a little water to the batter.

Serve with our Mesquite Smoked Jalapeño Salsa, spicy chutney or a peppery tamarind sauce.
 
Serves 4 to 6 persons.

Enjoy!
