Unripe plantain anyday, and it has to be boiled or roasted too.

Hmmm. Yummy!

~To eat As A Side Dish I Like Medium Ripe . .

~Dont eat Unripe PLantains

~Just Ripe :I like only As Plantain Cake . .mixed w/ flour,then fried Or KeleWele



~Kele Wele Recipe


6 just-ripe plantains, peeled and cubed into bite-sized pieces
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes
1/2 tsp Freshly-grated Ginger/1 Garlic clove chopped
1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Water
Palm oil (or vegetable oil) for frying




Method:

Peel Plantains,Cut into cube-sized pieces

Grind/Blend or pound the cayenne pepper, chilli flakes, ginger, salt and black pepper to a powder then add to the water. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and toss the plantain cubes in this mixture to coat them evenly.

Add some 2cm depth of oil in a wok and heat until almost smoking then add the plantains in batches and fry, turning once, until they are golden brown on all sides. Drain on kitchen towels and keep warm whilst the next batch is frying.
