Whisk until the batter is smooth.

Add the prepared salted cod to the batter, ensuring the pieces are not too big.

Fold in the chopped vegetables gently to keep them chunky.

Let the batter sit for 20-30 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.

Heat oil in a deep skillet until hot.

Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.

Cook each fritter for about 20-30 seconds on each side, turning them for even cooking.

Look for a nice even golden caramel color on both sides before removing from oil.
