Do you have overripe plantain in your kitchen and you want to throw them away or you don’t know what to do with it? Do not fret, let us teach you how to make plantain Mosa quickly.
Below is a very easy recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 overripe plantain
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- Cool water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Ground cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons evaporated milk (Peak Milk)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
- Break the egg into a bowl, beat and set aside.
- Peel the overripe plantain and mash with a fork till a good blend is achieved.
- Add cool water to the mashed plantain bit by bit and mix on each occasion till you get a medium consistency.
- Pass the medium consistency blend through a sieve into the egg. Mix very well.
- Sift the plain flour into the mixture from Step 4. Mix thoroughly.
- Add salt, cayenne pepper and evaporated milk and stir very well. It is ready to be fried.
- Set your frying pan over medium heat and pour a small quantity of vegetable oil; just enough to grease the frying pan. This should be about 1 tablespoon of oil.
- When hot, pour a small amount of batter into the pan to make a 5mm thick and 5-inch diameter plan-cake.
- Keep an eye on it and once you see the edge of the plan-cake caking, flip it to fry the other side too.
- It is ready when both sides are light brown. They should look like the Plantain Mosas in the image above.
