- 1 ½ cup split peas powder
- 2 ½ cups flour

Fold the leaves and cut off where the stem joins to the leaf. Chop the dasheen leaves finely. Add the rest of ingredients.
(Note: Don't forget the lime juice or else it will itch!). Mix thoroughly. Leave to rest for ½ an hour.
Heat the oil over a medium flame. Have a small bowl of water nearby. Dip your hands in the water, then pick up a bit of the dough and spread with your hands.
Fry until golden. Drain and serve with kuchela or chutney.
