A plate of small chops is never complete without the sweet and savory presence of Plantain mosa.

Bagging a first-class degree in deliciousness, the plantain mosa remains a food staple at Nigerian events; from birthdays to funerals.

Contrary to unpopular belief, this incredible treat is not enjoyed at events alone. From the comfort of your home, while watching a movie, you could prepare this snack masterpiece in under thirty minutes.

Ingredients

Overripe plantain

Flour

Sugar

Fast-action yeast

Baking powder

Vegetable oil

Diced Pepper

Warm water

Preparation

1.   Slice your plantain and put the pieces along with diced pepper into a blender. Add a little bit of water and yeast before blending.
2.   Once the mixture looks smooth, pour your flour and salt, and blend again.
3.   Ensure the texture is smooth and isn’t too thick. Pour the batter into a bowl and cover it, allowing the mixture to rise for about 15-20 minutes.
4.   While the batter rises, allow your frying pan to heat up then add vegetable oil.
5.   Noticing the oil is hot, scoop a mixture with a spoon, and pour it into the frying pan. If you don’t feel like a spoon might not give the desired shape, you could use your hands.
6.   Fry until the mosa turns golden brown.
7.   Once the batter has finished, drain the oil from the fried mosa. 
8.   Volia! Your snack is ready

Serve with any drink of your choice, and enjoy a hundred percent foodie goodness.
