Wash the split peas well and drain them.

Add the washed split peas to a pot of boiling water without salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of turmeric to the boiling water and mix.

Cook the split peas for about 20 minutes, checking at 10 minutes for doneness.

Strain the split peas and allow them to cool down.

Add chopped garlic, Shadow benny hot peppers, and pimento peppers to a food mill or food processor.

Grind the mixture until smooth, ensuring it is not too watery.

Add salt and ground roasted cumin seeds to the split pea mixture and mix well, squeezing it to soften further.

In a large bowl, mix 4 cups of flour with 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Add hot water to the flour mixture and knead until it forms a soft dough.

Add a little avocado oil to the dough and knead it in, then cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into 8 balls and let them rest covered with a damp paper towel for 5 minutes.

Flatten each dough ball, fill with the split pea mixture, and seal tightly.

Roll out the filled dough gently, ensuring the ends are thinner than the middle.

Cook the rolled dough on a 16-inch tower on medium heat, flipping and lightly oiling each side until it swells, about 2 minutes.
