Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder to 4 cups of flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Add 2 tablespoons of split pea powder to the mixture.

Blend green seasoning (garlic, pimento pepper, cilantro) and add it to the dry mixture.

Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of water to the mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Beat the dough for about 5 minutes to develop gluten and achieve a light and airy texture.

Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size.

Heat oil on an electric stove to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Use a mini ice cream scoop to drop the dough into the hot oil, ensuring the scoop is wet to help release the dough.

Test the oil temperature by observing bubbling; if not bubbling, wait until it is hot enough.

Fry the pholourie for about 2 minutes until cooked properly and golden brown.

Remove the pholourie and drain on paper towels or parchment paper.

Continue frying the remaining dough until finished.
