Salt Cod Fritters - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 oz salt cod
    1 None egg, lightly beaten
    1 1/4 cups milk
    2 1/4 cups flour
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 small onion, chopped
    2 None green onions, chopped
    3 tbsp chopped cilantro
    1 tbsp chopped lemon thyme
    1 None Scotch bonnet chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    None None Vegetable oil, for deep frying
    None None Salad greens and apple chutney, to serve
Preparation
    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.
    Mix eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Place flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Add egg mixture; mix well. Add cod, onion, green onions, cilantro, thyme, chili pepper and garlic; mix well.
    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.
