Method

Drain soaked cod and boil in water for 25 minutes until tender.

Drain the fish and flake the flesh whilst removing skin and bones.

Mix flour with 250ml cold water in a bowl to create a thick paste.

Stir in the fish, peppers, onions, and chili then season with black pepper.

Heat 2.5cm of vegetable oil in a heavy-based pan.

Fry spoonfuls of batter for 3 minutes until crisp and golden brown.

Drain the fritters on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
