Plantain chips

Fried plantain is a dish cooked wherever plantains grow, from West Africa to East Africa as well as Central America, the tropical region of northern South America and the Caribbean countries such as Haiti and Cuba and in many parts of Southeast Asia and Oceania, where fried snacks are widely popular. In Indonesia, it is called pisang goreng. It is called dodo in Yoruba in South West Nigeria, otherwise known as simply fried plantain in other parts of Nigeria.

Kelewele is a fried spicy plantain typically served as a side dish for red red and fish stew in Ghana.
