How To Make Plantain Mosa
Those of us who eat small chops will know this, it's that darkish gold and always comes along with puff puff, samosa and chicken . It's made with overripe plantains mashed and mixed with flour, rodo and salt, then deep-fried in vegetable oil to give it that golden look.
For me the first time I ate plantain mosa, I instantly fell in love with it, and wanted more even though I wasn’t sure what it was; what I knew for sure was that it was sweet and tasted a lot like plantain. If you haven’t eaten plantain mosa before, then picture yourself eating puff puff that tastes like plantain…
