Pour the cassava mixture into a sieve or cheesecloth and squeeze out 99% of the water.

Add chopped or grated onion and salt to the cassava mixture and stir well.

Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a lime or small egg.

Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Drop the balls into the hot oil and fry for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fried balls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
