About Guyanese pholourie
Pholourie is a popular Guyanese snack of Indo-Caribbean origin made from split pea flour, all-purpose flour, turmeric, cumin, and other spices. These ingredients are combined into a batter, shaped into small balls, and deep-fried to golden perfection. Traditionally enjoyed with tangy tamarind sauce or mango chutney, pholourie is a flavorful, savory treat that reflects the rich culinary heritage of Guyana. While it offers protein from the split peas and turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties, its healthiness depends on portion size and frying method. Deep frying adds calories and fat, making it an occasional indulgence rather than a staple for balanced diets. Alternatives like baking or air frying can make it lighter. Pairing pholourie with nutrient-rich dips such as fresh chutneys can enhance its overall nutritional value, while showcasing its vibrant flavors and cultural significance.
