1

Soak salt cod overnight in water, changing water at least once. Drain; rinse. Place in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 mins. Drain; flake, discarding skin and bones.

Half-fill a deep skillet with oil and heat on medium heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Fry spoonfuls of mixture, in batches, for 3-4 mins. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with salad and chutney.
