Soak titiwi in water for 30 minutes to soften.

Drain and chop titiwi finely.

In a bowl, combine cornmeal, chopped titiwi, and water to form a batter.

Add diced onion, minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, and season with salt, black pepper, and thyme.

Mix until well combined and let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Scoop spoonfuls of the batter and carefully drop into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fritters and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with a squeeze of lime juice and garnish with chopped scallions and parsley.
