Instructions

  1. Rinse the split peas and cook them in 500 ml of water with the turmeric for 30 minutes, until they fall apart.
  2. Mash them roughly into a purée and let it cool.
  3. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and oil, then add the lukewarm water to form a soft dough. Rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Fry the onion, chilli and cumin in a spoonful of oil, then stir this mixture into the pea purée.
  5. Divide the dough into 6 balls and flatten each one. Place a spoonful of filling in the centre, fold and press flat.
  6. Cook the flatbreads in a medium pan, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden in places.
  7. Serve hot, filled with salad or curry.
