How to Make Tatale Ghanian Plantain Cakes
- Peel and mash 3 ripe plantains until completely smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed plantains with 1 cup of all-purpose flour, mixing until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons palm oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Let the batter rest for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the plantain batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the Tatale with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy!
