Dholl Puri

What we know so far

Dholl puri is the street food Mauritius is proudest of: a paper-thin wheat flatbread with a filling of ground yellow split peas and cumin sealed inside the dough, cooked on a hot plate in under a minute. It is sold in pairs, wrapped in paper, with butter-bean curry, rougaille and a spoon of chilli or coriander chutney folded in. The dish came with Bihari indentured workers in the 1800s and is now eaten by every community on the island.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
