Yellow Split Pea Fritters

Similar to falafel, these split pea fritters are a plant-based protein source, bite-sized, and also fairly inexpensive (and easy!) to make. Kiran, our team member, also explains what pulses are and shares other Indian-themed recipes.

Ingreadient

• 1 cup yellow split peas (soaked 4+ hours)
• 1 onion (medium, chopped)
• 2 – 3 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped)
• 1 handful cilantro (chopped)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• avocado oil (or olive oil, for shallow frying)

Step by step

1. Soak yellow split peas for a minimum of 4 hours. Drain and rinse.
2. Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until combined.
3. Heat 1 – 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet. Scoop a spoonful of mixture into your hand and form into a loose ball. Add to pan and flatten with a spatula. Be careful not to overcrowd.
4. Cook until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes, flip and repeat until cooked on the other side.
