Method

  1. If using whole split peas, soak overnight in lightly salted cold water, lightly salted. Drain and grind finely using a mill or food processor.
  2. Mix all the ingredients, adding enough water to make a dropping consistency.
  3. Drop dollops of batter into hot oil, squishing through thumb and forefinger to make balls about ¾ inch in diameter.
  4. Fry until golden brown, remove from oil, and drain on brown paper or kitchen towel.
