In a bowl, combine the chopped ingredients with the saltfish.

Add 2.5 cups of flour to the mixture and coat the ingredients to find any bones that may have been missed.

Mix in curry paste (pre-cooked) to the batter for flavor and color.

Add water to achieve the desired consistency for the fritter batter.

Preheat oil in a pan over medium heat for frying the fritters.

Spoon the fritter batter into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
