This delicious and super easy recipe is simply genius. The traditional recipe for ripe plantain fry makes use of loads of ghee and sugar and is fried in more oil. But this dish is healthy and uses absolutely no added sugars and very less oil. The plantains are allowed to caramelize in it's natural sugars and is a cracking dish. Enjoy!
