Curried Plantain Patties

Slightly sweet, slightly spicy and perfectly simple. Cute little sunshine yellow curried plantain patties. Great paired with chicken lamp or pork.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 3 hours 25 minutes
Servings: 8 patties

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium plantains brown to some black
  • 4 Tbsp coconut oil divided
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼ tsp each ground cinnamon nutmeg, cumin, cayenne (optional)
  • 2 tsp curry powder any kind
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Method
 

  1. Peel plantains by first cutting off the top and bottom, then slicing lengthwise in half and removing peel.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil in a cast iron pan on medium heat. Place the plantain halves (or quarters if space is limited) in the hot oil. Fry the plantains until golden, flipping as often as needed to avoid burning. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  3. Puree the plantains in a food processor with the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate the dough for 2-3 hours (this provides a firmer texture for forming patties).
  4. In a cast iron pan, heat remaining 2 tbsp of coconut oil on medium heat. Scoop out dough and form balls in your hand, then flatten into patties, place in oil and fry 2-3 minutes per side or until golden. Continue until all dough is used.
  5. Serve with sour cream, if you're into that kind of thing....or mango chutney for a real treat.

Notes

Make the dough ahead of time to ensure a good texture for forming patties. You can fry the plantains, make the puree and make the patties all in one shot, but the patties may fall apart in the pan.
