In a skillet or a medium heat, mix corn meal and water and cook until the corn meal begins to roll into a ball. Set aside.
Mix all the remaining ingredients and add to the corn meal. Take 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture, form into a ball and deep fry in 5 centimeters / 2 inches of hot oil. Or you can bake the balls by placing them on an oiled cookie sheet, brush each with oil and bake at 180C/350F for 25 minutes or until golden.
Goes great with any kind of cooked beans and greens.
