Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse and sort the yellow split peas, removing any debris.
  2. Place the peas in a large bowl and cover with enough cold water to submerge them completely.
  3. Stir in the baking soda to help soften the peas.
  4. Let the peas soak overnight in the refrigerator.
  5. Drain the peas and rinse them several times under cold running water until the water runs clear.
  6. Drain thoroughly and let the peas stand for at least 30 minutes to air dry slightly.
  7. Spread the peas out on paper towels and pat dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
  8. In a deep, heavy saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350&# 194;°F (180°C).
  9. Add the peas to the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
  10. Fry the peas until they turn golden brown and crisp, stirring occasionally.
  11. Be careful as the peas may cause the oil to bubble up vigorously.
  12. Remove the fried peas from the oil using a slotted spoon.
  13. Drain the peas on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  14. Transfer the cooked peas to a small bowl while still warm.
  15. Sprinkle with chili powder, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  16. Toss gently to coat the peas evenly with the spice mixture.
  17. Allow the peas to cool completely before serving.
  18. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
