Poach or steam the cod for 4–5 minutes until just cooked, then flake into small pieces.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, cumin and water together to make a thick batter, and season well.

Stir the flaked cod, garlic and coriander into the batter.
- 4
Heat a shallow layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and spoon in the batter to form 3–4 fritters. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
