Introduce the dish and ingredients.

Prepare the cod fish by soaking it in lime and water, then rinse, drain, and pat it dry.

Add seasoning to the cod fish and mix well.

Add chicken bouillon to the cod fish mixture and mix again.

Place the cod fish in a pot and boil for 15 to 20 minutes with the lid on.

Grate the Malanga using a medium grater, avoiding the largest grater holes.

Check the cod fish; if there's excess water, wait for it to evaporate completely.

Let the boiled cod fish cool down before mixing it with the grated Malanga.

Chop and add parsley and Thyme to the mixture, then combine everything well using hands.

Shape the mixture into fritters using a table knife or your preferred shape.

Fry the fritters until golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes on each side, turning them to avoid burning.

Check for desired color and doneness before removing from oil.
