In a mixing bowl, combine split peas flour, baking powder, black pepper, and a chicken cube.

Mix all dry ingredients together until well combined.

Add a little turmeric powder (optional) to the mixture.

Pour in the blended seasoning mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and mix well.

Slowly add water to form a batter similar to pancake batter, mixing for about 3-4 minutes until smooth.

Cover the batter with cling wrap and let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan until hot.

Use a measuring scoop to drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches.

Fry until they are light brown in color, turning them around as needed.

Remove the pholourie from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
