Add chopped tomatoes and spices (onion powder, paprika, curry powder) to the pan and cook down for a few minutes.

Add the boiled saltfish to the mixture and combine well, cooking for a few more minutes without adding water.

Add half a teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, all-purpose seasoning, and parsley to the mashed bread fruit and mix well.

Let the mashed bread fruit drain in a colander to remove excess water before forming balls.
