Unripe Plantain Fritters.
- Peel and grate the plantain using the side of grater that would give it a flaky look(I used small and big pores to get an uneven texture).
- Remove the seed from the tomatoes.
- Dice the tomatoes, onions and pepper and place in a small bowl.
- Add the flour, salt, maggi and whisked egg and combine thoroughly. (I used my fingers to do this.).
- Add the mashed fish and if you’ve got a sweet tooth or making this for kids, you can
add sugar. - Heat your oil and scoop with a flat spoon and fry on medium heat so it cooks properly inside.
- Turn sides to get a golden brown colour. Best served warm with tea/oatmeal/pap.

Strong ripe Tomatoes

*ideally, this is supposed to be deep fried, but I fried normally. Also, you can use any veggies of choice: mushroom etc. For this I didn’t use fish because it wasn’t readily available. I also hope someone can do this with a mixture of ripe and unripe plantain and tell us how it goes. Plantain can be substituted with Irish or sweet potatoes.
