A New Twist On Fried Plantain by AmakaOne(f): 4:41pm On Dec 11, 2009
This is served as a snack rather than an appetizer.

Ripe plantains are dipped in a slightly sweet batter made of rice flour and all purpose flour and then deep fried in coconut oil. Deep frying in coconut oil gives a distinctive flavour to this snack.

My mom used to prepare this by adding egg along with other ingredients mentioned below and since I'm not very fond of the smell of eggs I prefer making without it.

This can be easily prepared in a very short time and if you are expecting guests at a very short notice then this is definitely a life saver smiley

Ingredients:
1 cup rice flour
3 tbsp all purpose flour
2 Ripe plantains
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Sugar-2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Few cardamom seeds crushed
Baking powder-1/4 tsp
Water- for making a thick batter
Coconut Oil for frying

Method:
Peel bananas and cut them into thin slices. Mix all the ingredients except water. Add water slowly and make a thick batter. In a frying pan heat oil at medium heat. When the oil is hot enough dip each banana slice in the batter and deep fry. Remove it from pan and drain off excess oil in paper towels.

Why all the added fat to good old plain fried plantain,like oyinbos do?Battered fries soak in unnecessary oil.
