6 ripe plantains
One teaspoon of powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups of oil or shortening
Two tablespoons water

Peel the plantain and cut diagonally into 1/2 –inches slices, ensure that you remove any woody parts from the center of the plantain. With a mixing bowl combine red pepper, ginger and salt and mix well. Drop the sliced plantain into the mixture to fully coat them. Heat oil in a huge skillet then fry the mixture-coated slices until they turn golden brown.
