Peel the over ripe plantain

Put it in a blender and add pepper and sugar

Pour this in a bowl and add the salt

Mix and pour in the grinded corn and use your hand to combine and mould well into a ball

This is the consistency you should aim for (not overly too strong or too soft either)

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)

Finish moulding all the batches and place on a tray

Heat up palm oil in a deep pot but on low heat (else it burns fast without cooking properly)

Make sure to deep fry, and on very low heat

Remove with a sieve spoon and set on a line sieve to cool
