Soak bulgur wheat in water for 30 minutes until it doubles in size, then drain and wash it to remove any stones.

In a pot, add the soaked bulgur and mix with water, then set aside to drain.

Steam the fish with all-purpose seasoning and a pinch of salt for about 2-3 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot and sauté the chopped carrots and runner beans for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

In the same pot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté the chopped habanero pepper for 2 minutes.

Add the fish to the pot and allow it to fry, then add tomato paste and allow it to steam for 2-3 minutes.

Prepare the filling by mixing the bulgur with the fish mixture once cooled, ensuring it's well combined.

Shape the mixture into patties, ensuring they are not too thick, and place them in hot oil to fry until golden brown, turning as necessary.

Once fried, place the patties on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
