Kakro | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

2 cups overripe plantains (peeled and mashed)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped peppers (optional)
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the mashed plantains, flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. You can also add finely chopped onions and peppers if you like for extra flavor.

Heat the Oil

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. The oil should be enough to submerge the fritters.

Fry the Kakro

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve

Use a slotted spoon to remove the Kakro from the oil and drain on paper towels.
