Yield 1-2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb saltfish like cod (deboned fish will speed up your prep)
6 ounces self-rising flour
1 ounce mild curry powder
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/4 pint water
pepper, to taste
oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Wash the saltfish and put into a pan with water, allowing it to cover the fish.
  • Leave to simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Discard the cooking water.
  • Now place cold water on the saltfish and let it stand for 15 minutes, allowing the fish to cool down.
  • When the fish is cool, discard this water as well and debone the fish.
  • Flake the fish and put it into a deep mixing bowl.
  • Add the curry powder, onion, flour and pepper to season. Adjust to your taste if desired.
  • Mix it all together, adding water to create a thickish consistency.
  • Heat the frying oil in a deep pan.
  • When the oil is hot take a tablespoon, scoop up the mixture and drop it slowly into the hot oil.
  • Allow each tablespoonful of mixture to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until each ball is golden brown.
  • Serve with white rice, spinach or calalloo, or any vegetable of your choice.
