Beya Kyaw

Description
Beya Kyaw (Split Pea Fritters) is a great accompaniment to soups or main course dishes.



Ingredients

 * 200 g (7 oz) split peas, dried
 * 2 onions, finely chopped
 * 2 fresh red chili, finely chopped
 * 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
 * salt to taste
 * oil for deep frying

Directions
Put the split peas in a large bowl filled with cold water and let the peas soak overnight. Drain the peas and reduce to a paste using a food processor. Add the onions, chili and ground turmeric to the paste and form into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. Next, slightly flatten the balls (1/2-inch thick). Deep-fry the fritters to a golden brown. Drain the fritters on absorbent paper and serve hot. This recipe makes 4 servings.
