Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Gateau piment are small crisp fritters of coarsely ground yellow split peas with chilli, spring onion, coriander and cumin, deep-fried in balls the size of a walnut. They are the Mauritian snack: sold from roadside stalls and bicycle boxes for breakfast, tea and any time in between, and eaten pushed into a buttered baguette with a little chilli sauce. The Seychelles makes the same thing as gato piman.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
