Ingredients
  • 3 very ripe plantains
  • 1/2 cup All purpose flour/maida
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 + 1/8 cup water
  • Oil for deep frying
Instructions
  1. Cut the plantain horizontally, then cut in the center. Further slice each piece into two. Check image. (It doesn't have to be perfect, but 1/2 inch long slices would be ideal).
  2. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients well. Add water and create a slightly thick batter.
  3. Heat oil in a pan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, dip the plantain in batter, coat well and place it in the oil. If the outer layer starts browning fast, reduce the heat to medium. Fry everything till the coating is golden yellow. Drain on a paper towel.
Recipe Notes

When frying, do not overcrowd the pan.

You will know the oil is hot when you add a drop of batter into the oil and it sizzles.

Use ripe plantains only. The plantains peels easily if its ripe.

To fasten the ripening process, place the raw plantains wrapped in paper, paper bag or cloth bag in a warm place.
