About Pholourie

Pholourie is a popular Caribbean snack, originating from Trinidad and Tobago, inspired by Indian culinary traditions. Made from a spiced batter of split pea flour or all-purpose flour, mixed with turmeric, cumin, garlic, and green seasoning, these savory fritters are deep-fried until golden and fluffy. Often served with tangy chutneys like tamarind or mango, pholourie is enjoyed as a street food or party appetizer. Nutritionally, the dish offers protein from the split peas and beneficial antioxidants from turmeric and spices. However, being fried, it is calorie-dense and may include higher fat content depending on the oil used for frying. For a healthier alternative, air-frying or reducing the oil could be considered. Pholourie is a flavorful treat that celebrates cultural heritage, but moderation is key to balancing enjoyment and health.
