Directions:
Place the cod in a bowl and cover it with water to desalinate it for 48 hours, changing the water every 12 hours. After desalting it – cook it for 5 minutes.
Once ready, let it cool, remove the skin and fish bones, crumble and set aside.
In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and curry. Add water little by little and mix to obtain a creamy texture that is not very thick and not very watery. Add the vegetables and half of the habanero and mix well (optionally add achiote to give it a little color). Add salt to taste, if necessary, and then add the cod and mix.
Once you have obtained the desired result, fry it in plenty of hot oil. Add a large scoop of the mixture and fry it until it is two-sided golden brown and ready to serve.
Optional ingredients that you can add in the recipe: chives, paprika, pepper.
Enjoy!
