    Pholourie is a fried spiced snack made from a mix of all purpose flour and gram flour, very popular in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Suriname. This was original brought from the Indians settled here many years ago.

    In the theme I was cooking on Adapted cuisines, I also wanted to cover something on Indian cuisine adapted in other countries and this pholourie was so apt. I have been wanting to make it for so long and finally so happy that I could make this and enjoyed a hearty snack over the weekend.

    I was inspired by this recipe, though there are so many versions found on net! I really enjoyed this theme and hope to have this again to cover so many other cuisines.

      I totally enjoyed pholourie when I made it few months ago for Caribbean theme, Valli. A good choice for adapted cuisine.

      I have been making and eating this my whole life but we never used yeast in it. Everybody I knew always made it with just baking powder. Your variation sounds interesting to try

      Pholourie is definitely a quick and prefect tea time snack to munch. Addition of yeast sounds interesting, now am tempted to make some.

      Sambar powder sounds like a delicious addition to these fritters. They look soooo fluffy, airy and sooo addictive. Great tea time snack.

      Interesting variation to our bondas. Did you observe if these absorbed more oil than usual, Valli?

      I'd come across the recipe of pholourie when I did the Caribbean cuisine. Its still on my to do list. Its so resembles the bhajis we make in India.
