Soak split peas in water overnight and rinse them well in the morning until plump.

Blend the soaked split peas with water until smooth and fine, ensuring no chunks remain.

In a bowl, mix the blended split peas with baking powder, salt to taste, brown sugar, yeast, ground turmeric (optional), green seasoning (optional), crushed hot peppers, and garlic until well combined.

Add all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix with clean hands until everything is well combined.

Adjust the dough consistency by adding more water if necessary; it should be thick but manageable.

Beat the dough for 2-3 minutes by hand to improve texture, ensuring it is nice and chewy.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 to 1.5 hours to rise slightly.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat for frying.

Squeeze small pieces of dough into the hot oil using your thumb and index finger, or use two spoons or an ice cream scoop if preferred.

Fry the poories for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally for even browning until they are golden brown and fluffy.

Transfer the fried poories to a bowl lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce like mango sour or mango chutney.
