Tippaleivt May Day Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the eggs and sugar, but don't beat! Add the other ingredients and stir into a smooth batter.
• Put the batter into a paper cone or a pastry bag fitted with a small-holed nozzle.
• Squeeze the batter in a thin band into the hot oil. Use a spiral motion to form nest-like cookies. If possible, use a metal ring in the pot to keep the cookies in shape.
• When the cookies have turned golden brown, remove and drain them on paper towels.
• Dust the cold cookies with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• For at least 3 hours, soak the split peas in water to cover. Drain but leave them wet. Place oil, to a depth of at least 3 inches, in a wok or large, deep saucepan. Turn heat to medium-high. Let it heat while you prepare fritters; it should reach a temperature of 365 to 375 degrees.
• Place the drained peas in the container of a food processor with chili, ginger, garlic, onion, cilantro, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, salt and pepper. Process until mixture is a coarse purée - not perfectly smooth, but with no whole peas remaining. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if necessary to help the machine with its work. The mixture should be fairly loose; add a little water if it is quite thick, or a tablespoon or two of flour if it is soupy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Drop the mixture by the heaping tablespoon into the oil; do not crowd. Cook until lightly browned and crisp, turning if necessary; total cooking time will be about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot or at room temperature, with lime wedges.
