Folourie

Pholourie is a Trini appetizer or a snack that is traditionally prepared and served at religious gatherings or birthday parties. This fritter is made with a split pea batter that is seasoned with hot peppers and various spices. The batter is dropped into hot oil and fried until it develops a golden brown color. Pholouries can also be found at numerous bakeries throughout the island. The snacks are typically served with sauces or chutneys on the side.
