Add warm water gradually and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Finely chop onions, bell peppers, scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, and ginger.

Once the dough has risen, fold in the chopped vegetables and spices.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until hot.

Scoop small portions of the dough and carefully drop them into the hot oil.

Fry the dough balls until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the puff puffs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm as a snack or appetizer.
