Soak split peas in water for at least 2 hours, then drain.

Cook split peas with water until soft, about 30 minutes.

Blend cooked split peas with onion, garlic, cumin, and salt until smooth.

Knead whole wheat flour with water to form a soft dough.

Divide dough into equal portions and roll into balls.

Flatten each ball and place a spoonful of the split pea filling in the center.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal tightly.

Roll out the filled dough gently to maintain the shape.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry each Dhalpuri until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve warm with curry or chutney.
