Soak chickpeas for over five hours (overnight is also fine).

In a mini blender, add the soaked chickpeas and half a cup of water, then puree until smooth.

Set the blended chickpeas aside.

In a food processor, finely chop one onion, two cloves of garlic, two green onions, one maribyri pepper, and some fresh celery.

In a mixing bowl, combine baking powder, brown sugar, and melted salted butter.

Add the chopped fresh ingredients into the bowl.

Mix everything together until chunky and well combined.

Add the pureed chickpeas to the mixture and knead the dough, adding more water if necessary to achieve a soft dough.

Let the dough sit while heating oil for frying.

Break off small pieces of dough to form balls for frying.

Roll out the dough balls slightly to form circles.

Fry the dough circles in hot oil until golden brown on both sides, ensuring they puff up nicely.

Prepare salted cod by boiling it, removing skins and bones, and mixing it with sautéed onions, grated garlic, green peas, grated carrots, flat leaf parsley, and lime juice.
