Kele-Wele - Fried Seasoned Ripe Plantain

This dishes are all traditional street snacks cooked on busy roads and sometimes served and sold through windows of commuting busy long distance buses. Plantains can now be found in many green grocers and supermarkets in ethnically diverse areas.

They cannot be eaten raw and generally treated like a potato. There are three main stages of ripeness, Green – Boil or mash, yellow – cut and fry and going black or black fritter or used in cakes. I love plantain, it’s an absolute staple in any Ghanaian home to be honest I could eat it three times a day every day.
