Instructions

  • Pholourie (boulders): Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl thoroughly. (Test the mixture by dropping small blobs of batter in a cup of water until it floats).
  • Have a little bowl of water at hand to dip the spoon into before dipping it in the batter. You could use either a ½ tablespoon or tablespoon according to the size you want. Fry until golden and drain on paper towels.
  • Dhal: Mix the split peas powder and green seasoning in 3 cups of water. Heat the oil over a medium flame; add the garlic, onion, and saffron (tumeric) to saute.
  • Add the curry and let it fry until it is about to stick to the pot. Add the dhal and the rest of water (11 cups) and stir (Note: While stirring, the dhal will thicken.)
  • Add the hot pepper and "boulders". Bring to a boil. Add geera and salt to taste
  • Serve over rice or with roti.
