Kakro (Fried Plaintain Balls) 🇬🇭

Post by Chowhound »

Kakro.jpg
4 plantains (very ripe)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 small onion , finely grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Peel the plantains and place them in a bowl. Mash them with a fork until obtaining a lumpy mixture. Add the onion, ginger, salt, cayenne pepper and mix well with a spatula. Add the flour and mix well. In a deep skillet, heat a large volume of oil over medium heat. Using a spoon, take some of the dough and dip in hot oil. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Place kakro as you go on a sheet of paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve hot or warm.
