1 teaspoon Brown Sugar

Steps:

Combine all ingredients, except water, in a bowl.
Gradually add warm water and whisk vigorously until smooth and somewhat fluffy.
Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 2 hours for mixture to become light and airy.
Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. NB: Oil should not be too hot otherwise balls with brown quickly and not be cooked inside. Just under medium heat is perfect.
When oil is hot, drop batter in oil, using 2 spoons. Oil spoons before scooping out batter.
Alternately, you may use your hand to scoop up the batter and squeeze it gently into the oil. Do not overcrowd pot.
Move pholourie back and forth using a slotted spoon to ensure even cooking.
