Steps

  • Add red pepper and curry powder and sweat for one minute.
  • Pour in coconut liquid, boil, and reduce the volume by half.
  • Stir in tomatoes and 50g butter, simmer, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk flour, egg, lager, salt, pepper, and coriander to form a cream-like batter.
  • Mix grated plantain with enough batter to coat it lightly.
  • Heat vegetable oil to 180°C in a saucepan or deep fat fryer.
  • Fry spoonfuls of plantain mixture until golden-brown and drain on kitchen paper.
