Drain and rinse the soaked split peas. Add the split peas, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, paprika, and curry powder to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Pour the mixture out into a medium mixing bowl and add the egg, if using and mix well. Add in the zucchini noodles. Mix until combined.
Heat about 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form the patties with your hands and add to the skillet, flattening with the spatula. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat until all mixture is used.
Serve with preferred toppings or a side salad.
