2 of 5 ingredients can go straight into the online basket in one action.
Anything sold by weight or volume is added as one pack, because this page does not know the pack size. Herbs counted in leaves or sprigs are one jar too: we list them dried, by the jar, not by the leaf. Adjust the quantities in the basket.
The basket opens in the online shop, which checks stock again and tells you what it could not add. Nothing is ordered until you check out there.
Preparation
Step by step, from pantry to plate.
Rinse the yellow split peas well, then place them in a pot with enough water to cover them by a few centimetres. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and cook until very tender.
Drain the peas thoroughly, then mash them into a smooth paste. Mix in the turmeric and cumin, and let the mixture cool completely.
Put the wholemeal flour in a bowl, add the olive oil and a pinch of salt, then mix in just enough water to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth, cover, and rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls. Divide the pea paste into the same number of portions and shape each into a small ball.
Flatten one dough ball, place a pea ball in the center, then wrap the dough around it and pinch to seal. Gently roll it out into a thin round. Repeat with the remaining portions.
Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Cook each puri for about 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through, brushing with a little olive oil if needed.
Serve warm with a little salt and pepper if desired.
Good to know
Let the pea filling cool fully before stuffing so the dough stays easy to seal.
How these figures were worked out
Calculated from standard food composition tables for the raw ingredients as listed, before cooking. They are estimates of a recipe, not laboratory measurements of a finished dish.
Every figure here is for one serving at the quantities as written. The servings control changes the shopping quantities and leaves these figures alone.
These recipes are cooked in home kitchens, where the same boards, pans and utensils handle other foods. We cannot tell you what the dish you cook will contain. Read the label on every product you buy: the ingredient and allergen information on the pack is the authority, not this page.
No qualified reviewer has signed off these figures, so this page shows no vegan, gluten free or other dietary label. When one has, the labels return with their basis stated.
