Welcome to the channel and introduction to the recipe.

Prepare the saltfish ahead of time.

In a large bowl, combine split peas flour and all-purpose flour.

Add sweet pepper, chilies, minced garlic, onions, thyme, green onion, and cilantro to the flour mixture.

Mix all the ingredients to combine well.

Gradually add warm water a little at a time to form a soft, sticky dough.

Cover the dough and let it sit for about 30 minutes.

Preheat a skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat.

Using a small ice cream scoop, drop the fritter mixture into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown and cooked thoroughly inside, ensuring the heat is medium to avoid burning.

Remove the fritters and place them on a wire rack to keep them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Serve the fritters with Tamarind and mango sour.
