Soak split peas overnight, or for at least 6 hours, in water to
cover. Drain, grind to a paste in a blender or put twice through fine
screen of a mincer. Mix in all other ingredients except the oil. Make small
balls and flatten to 12 mm (1/2 inch) thickness. Heat oil in deep frying
pan and put in the fritters, one at a time, into the oil. Fry until golden
brown. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve garnished with sliced raw onion and
lemon wedges.

Note: The Burmese name for this recipe is pronounced 'be-ah-jaw'.

Two chilis may not be enough........
