Make Your Own kelewele!!!!

Kelewele is so simple to make!!! Kelewele is often sold by street vendors in cities and towns all over Ghana and is a great treat! Here is what you need: Ripped plantains, onions, fresh ginger, a dash of cayenne pepper, and salt.

Here’s what you do:

Blend ginger, pepper, onion and salt with very little water in a blender. Dice plantains. Mix plantains with the blended spices. Let the plantains marinate in the spice mixture for at least ten minutes. Fry in hot oil. Cooked when color turns to dark brown.

Health tip:

If your oil is properly HOT and plantains are not too soft, the plantains will not absorb much oil & be low in fat!!!!
