Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the over ripe plantain
- 2
Put it in a blender and add pepper and sugar
- 3
Add a tiny bit of water (best if you can do without water)
- 4
Blend until very smooth
- 5
Pour this in a bowl and add the salt
- 6
Mix and pour in the grinded corn and use your hand to combine and mould well into a ball
- 7
This is the consistency you should aim for (not overly too strong or too soft either)
- 8
Now start cutting and moulding into tiny long mass with your palm (it should not be too thick else it won’t be too crunchy)
- 9
Finish moulding all the batches and place on a tray
- 10
Heat up palm oil in a deep pot but on low heat (else it burns fast without cooking properly)
- 11
Make sure to deep fry, and on very low heat
- 12
After like 10-15minutes, you start to see it getting golden brown and crunchy
- 13
Remove with a sieve spoon and set on a line sieve to cool
- 14
Ikara is usually eaten alone or paired with coconut flesh
- 15
Try this and thank me later 😀

Plantain Pancakes (Vegan) Plantain Pancakes (Vegan)
Plancakes? Which would be ironic, as there was no plan. The plantain I used was VERY black. I almost considered throwing it out because it was so black.I used the liquid from a tin of pigeon peas in place of an egg, but I think you could use liquid from kidney beans or pinto beans etc. (Or an egg, if you are boring)Given that I was just throwing ingredients in a bowl without much of a plan, I was really pleased with how these turned out (and more importantly, so was my girlfriend). Would definitely make them again.
