Tips

This popular Jamaican Dish is usually served at breakfast or parties as an hors-d’oeuvre.
Always taste your first batch and adjust your seasoning, if needed, before frying the remaining batter.
My favorite veggies that go well with this batter are yellow squash, raw or boiled okra, and bell peppers.
