Plantains are used in all their glory in the Caribbean--it is a member of the banana family and are not edible until they are cooked. We are always looking for new ways to use it --here is my take on it

I had some ripened plantains and I thought about making pancakes with them. I did a little research and saw that someone already had. But they said to stay away from ripened plantains... I found out that they were just trying to keep the good stuff to themselves. These pancakes aren’t as sweet as they would be with banana. But honestly, they’re sweet enough. You can even eat them with whipped cream cheese and smoked salmon.. use your imagination.

Kids favorite recipe and also very healthy recipe

Plantains are rich in nutrients and dietary fibre.They are also rich in potassium and in Vitamin A and C .They are good antioxident as well.(Plantains are  not to be confused with bananas.Plantains are bigger than bananas and hard to peel. Raw  plantains are  used like potatoes or vegetables )They are specially  good for making chips Well ripe plantains  are usually roasted in ghee or baked .Now  I tried  a different snack  and it is really a delicious and healthy  snack

Sanggara Balanda is cake like banana fritters that were coated a batter to add to the deliciousness. SANGGARA in Bugis-Makassar, South Sulawesi means "fried bananas". While BALANDA is the nickname given by the Bugis for Dutch citizens when they invaded the country Angin Mamiri. So it could be interpreted "Sanggara Balanda" is "Netherlands fried bananas". Although only a simple traditional food, reputedly Dutch citizens really like this cake.Unknown reason behind why there is a Dutch name it. Is it because first it was originally a culinary dessert commonly eaten by the Dutch colonists? Or because the fried bananas are different from the usual fried bananas, which are only dipped in flour?Sanggara Balanda is one cake that must appear in traditional events Bugis-Makassar. This cake is often encountered when eating at Bosara. Like pastries typical of other Bugis incredible sweets, Sanggara Balanda is also loaded with sugar and eggs.A characteristic of this cuisine is you must use good plantain that are ripe, and should not use another banana because it has different aroma and taste. Plantains are high in sugar content, so it will undergo a caramelization process when fried that produces a distinctive aroma.The bananas are fried twice. The first to get the distinctive aroma of fried plantains, and second to coat with the egg batter. If directly dipped and fried, it will be a different aroma. Again, in this recipe you can not use other bananas, and should use ripe plantain once there is no sign of its astringent taste. The purpose of stuffing the filling in while still hot is so that the sugar melts. Later it will just look like the peanuts and sugar turned into sauce. It will be more enjoyable eaten in a cold state.In this recipe, I serve in a little bit different way, i.e. with extra milk in the stuffing and sauce mix ...

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.
