Paprika offers flavor without heat, while black pepper is widely available.

Mix 4 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of salt in a bowl.

Add water gradually to the flour mixture and knead until a dough forms.

Let the dough rest for 15 to 30 minutes, covered with oil to prevent drying.

Knead the dough again for another 5 to 6 minutes until smooth.

Shape the dough into medium-sized balls and flatten them with hands.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over low-medium heat.

Fry the flattened dough in hot oil until golden brown on both sides, then drain on paper towels.

In a blender, combine fish fillets, garlic, habanero peppers, chopped onion, jumbo cube, and black pepper; blend until smooth.

Heat some of the oil used for frying in a pan, then add the blended mixture.

Stir-fry the mixture until most of the water evaporates, adding tomato paste and salt to taste.

Optional: add smoked paprika for color and continue frying until the sauce is thick and dry.
