- All-purpose flour- 1 cup
- Egg- 1 (optional)
- Sugar- 3 tbsp
- Baking soda- ½ tsp

Instructions
- Peel off the skin from the plantains, first cut it vertically, then cut it into halves.
- Cut the halved plantain vertically to get two thin slices out of it and keep aside.
- To make the batter: Combine the flour, egg, sugar, baking soda and water using a whisk or in a blender to make a thick batter without any lumps.
- Don't make the batter watery, so make sure to add water little by little.
- Place a frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil for frying.
- Dip the plantain slices into the batter, coat it evenly with the batter.
- When the oil gets hot, add the plantain coated with batter into the oil one by one.
- Don't over crowd the plantains.
- Fry till both the sides turn golden in color.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried plantains to a plate lined with paper towel.
- Serve hot along with cardamom tea.
Notes
Make sure to use ripe plantains.
You could even add a pinch of saffron or turmeric powder to the batter which gives a vibrant yellow color.
Don't throw away any leftover batter, using a spoon pour the batter into the oil and fry until it turns golden in color. The fried batter tastes really good.
