KELEWELE (SPICY FRIED PLANTAINS)

Kelewele (Spicy Fried Plantains) image

Kelewele (Kele-wele) are flavorful fried plantain cubes. Simple to make, kelewele are plantain cubes, sprinkled with spices, and fried in hot oil. Kelewele are often sold by African street vendors. Originally from Ghana, kelewele have been popularized in America by several Kwanzaa books and websites. Fresh ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt seem to be the most typical combination of spices used to make kelewele. Some recipes get a little fancier and add ground cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, chili powder, or red pepper flakes. Some replace the water with lemon juice; others use no liquid at all and call for the plantains to be tossed in the dry spices. Letting the plantains marinate in the spice mixture for ten or twenty minutes is also recommended by some. **And if your oil is properly HOT, they won't absorb much oil & be low fat!! And plantains are good fiber. :)

Ingredients

Steps:

Slice the plantain into small bite size pieces and place into a large bowl.
Mince the ginger and onion to a paste. You can do this in a small blender with a little water or in a pestle and mortar.
Put the ginger and onion paste into a small bowl, add 2 teaspoons of the kelewele seasoning, salt and the warm water and mix.
Add paste to the plantain and mix ensuring all the pieces are coated then leave to stand for at least 30 minutes minutes (very important). This is to ensure the paste sticks to the plantain.
Heat about an inch and a half of oil in a pan until hot and in small batches add plantain to the oil with a slotted spoon ensuring the pieces are not touching.
Deep fry plantain pieces until golden brown then place in a bowl lined with kitchen towel.
You must keep a very close eye on the Kelewele, they can burn easily because of the sugar in the plantain. Also ensure all sides caramelise by moving the pieces around.
Once done serve immediately with roasted peanuts sprinkled all over or on the side. You can eat this as a snack on its own or as part of a meal e.g with jollof rice.
