Add hot peppers sparingly and mix again.

7

Gradually add warm water to create a thick batter.

8

Cover the batter with a clean cloth and let it rise for 30 to 45 minutes.

Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry, turning them occasionally.

12

Remove pholourie from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Repeat the frying process until all batter is cooked.

Pholourie can be made in any shape or size; it doesn't have to be round.
