👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Grind the soaked and drained split peas with chopped onion, garlic, ginger, minced scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and cumin seeds in a food processor or blender until a coarse paste forms. Add a little water, about 1/4 cup, only if needed to help the grinding process.

Transfer the paste to a mixing bowl. Stir in the turmeric powder, baking powder, salt, chopped cilantro, and mix well. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- 3
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
💡 專業提示: Use two spoons to help shape the fritters as you drop them into the oil. - 5
Remove the Saheena from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.
