Unfortunately we do not get plantains in Greece but I gather that they are similar to unripe bananas, or am I wrong? However, I can imagine that they would taste delicious with the garlic paste and the fennel seeds. Thanks for another lovely recipe.
Liked the flavors in the marinade. Though shallow fried, it looks crisp. Shall try it soon.
My children also luv them a lot. Looks great.

Spicy and crisp fritters..

Hi Priya,
I came across your blog and this plantain recipe looks wonderful. I just have one question though. Do you use the ripe yellow plantains for this which have a sweet flavour or do you use the unripe ones? Actually if you use the unripe ones then are they actual unripe plantains or would unripe green bananas also be suitable?
It looks so tempting but if I'm to make it I want to make sure I buy the right thing. Thanks,
Neelu
Hi Neelu,
I used the green unripe bananas for making this fritters, ripen plantains wont suits prefect for this fritters,hope i cleared ur doubt..
