Ingredients
  

  • 4 very ripe plantains (turning black on the outside)
  • 2 Onions
  • 1 Ginger powder
  • red pepper (select the one you can handle)
  • Maisflour (or other type of flour if not available)
  • Peanut oil
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Mash the plantains into a soft consistency with a masher or hand mixer.
  • Cut the pepper and onions into very tiny parts.
  • Add the pepper and onions together with a sniff of ginger and salt (according to taste) into the mix.
  • Add around 3 cups of maisflour and mix all very well into a well-bound texture.
  • Let the mix stand for about 30 minutes.
  • Fill a pot with peanut oil so it comes up around 2 inches from the bottom of the fire.
  • When the oil is hot enough you can use a big spoon to make round scoops from the mix and fry these scoops on both sides until they turn golden brown.
  • Let them leak out on a plate with kitchen paper before serving them as delicious snacks or as a side dish to your African meal.
