Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is more economical.

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier, while vegetable oil is often less expensive.

Soak salt fish in water overnight to reduce saltiness.

Drain and rinse the salt fish, then boil in fresh water for 10-15 minutes.

Remove fish from water and let cool, then flake into large pieces.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough briefly on a floured surface until smooth.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into rounds.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot.

Fry each dough round until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

In a separate pan, sauté onions, bell peppers, garlic, and thyme until softened.

Add the flaked fish to the sautéed vegetables and mix well.

Serve the fried dough rounds with the salt fish mixture on top, garnished with lime juice and scallions.
