Método

1

Mash ginger, chilli, selim, anise, cayenne and salt into a paste with a few plantain cubes crushed into it — the paste carries the marinade onto every piece.
2

Roll the remaining cubes in the paste and rest 10 minutes.
3

Fry in medium peanut oil 4-5 minutes without crowding, until the edges caramelise dark and the inside goes soft-piping.
4

Drain briefly and serve warm with roasted groundnuts; in Accra it's a starter, with waakye it's supper, and the pot is never empty long.
