On Sunday mid-morning here in Mauritius I enjoy Gateaux Piments
Chili Cakes(pronounced like this: gotoe pema English : Chili Cakes) with some french bread and butter heated up and a fresh simmering cup of Mauritiun Style Tea.
Chili Cakes
1/2 lb (250 gr) yellow split peas (other wise known as white lentils)
2-3 green or red chilis (hot peppers) (as spicy as you’d like), cleaned, seeded, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons spring onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt to taste
vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
Wash the white lentils in running water, then soak in water for at least 3-
Place the white lentils in a food processor and reduce to a fine grain.
Add chili, coriander, onion, cumin, salt, and run the blade until reduced into a fine paste (add a little water if necessary).
Heat oil over a medium heat. Shape the mixture into small round balls about the size of a walnut.
Deep fry in the oil in batches until golden brown. Make sure that the round ball is cooked throughout.
Drain the cooked gateaux piments and place on paper towels to absorb the excessive oil. Serve warm. Also can be placed on a warmed piece of soft french bread with melted butter.
***Please Note I will be adding a video presentation of the preparation for this next week.
