When peas have softened, rub off skins, soak an additional 30 minutes. Drain & rinse. In a food processor, process peas, garlic, salt & pepper. Add water while continuing to process. Add enough water to get a smooth, thick puree. Preheat oven to 250ºF. In a large skillet, heat 2 to 3 inches oil & fry 1 tablespoon of the batter till its golden brown. Repeat till all the batter has been fried in this way. Keep in oven to keep hot. Serve piping hot, sprinkled with salt & lime juice.
