Steps

  • Cut the plantains into pieces with the skin on.
  • Boil plantain slices in water until tender, then drain, cool, peel, and mash them.
  • Combine the coriander, ginger, raisins, chillies, cumin, and salt in a bowl.
  • Press a tablespoon of mashed plantain into your oiled palm and create a well in the center.
  • Fill the well with the stuffing mixture and roll into a ball.
  • Fry the dumplings in hot oil until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
  • Mix yoghurt with spices, salt, and enough cream to reach the consistency of double cream.
  • Spread half the sauce on a dish, place dumplings on top, and cover with the remaining sauce.
  • Garnish with toasted coconut, pomegranate seeds, and fresh coriander.
