Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Green plantains
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 piece Ripe mango
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Chilli powder
- 1 piece Fresh red chilli
- 0.25 tsp Salt (for dip)
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Peel the green plantains by cutting off both ends and making a shallow lengthwise slit through the peel. Gently separate the skin from the flesh with your fingers or a knife.
Slice the plantains into very thin rounds using a mandolin or a sharp knife. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan or a fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the plantain slices in batches, ensuring they don't overlap in the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Remove the chips from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
To make the chilli mango dip, peel and dice the ripe mango, discarding the pit.
Add the mango, lime juice, honey, chilli powder, sliced red chilli, salt, and water to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning, lime juice, or chilli powder, if needed.
Serve the plantain chips warm or at room temperature with the chilli mango dip on the side.
