  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 large ripe plantain, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 cups Tropical Mango Salsa (recipe below)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine Arooda flour and coconut milk to form a batter. Mix until smooth. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip plantain slices into the Arooda batter and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Tropical Mango Salsa on the side.

Chef’s Insight

To create a perfect batter consistency, gradually add coconut milk to the Arooda flour until it reaches a thick yet pourable texture.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm plantains.

Cultural or Historical Background
