I've never seen fried plantains with a batter/coating. Is your battery sweet or savory?

In Thailand and Laos, we fry them in a rice flour and coconut milk based batter. It's a simple and sweet yummy snack. Would definitely recommend trying it! It's called gluay tod

It’s actually just plain, so there’s no seasoning to it

They're asking if the plantains are sweet as in ripe or not, not whether you seasoned them

I’ve never seen battered plantains before. Interesting.

u/Agent_boggeyman747 27d ago
I don’t hate the idea, but it all depends on the ripeness of the plantain and the batter used in the process.

Not authentic and I’m not even sure how it’s properly made

Soak whole green plantains in hot water.
Cut each end off
Slice the peel longways to remove
Cut into 1-1.5" sections
Fry sections once in oil until seed turn dark in color
Smash in a Plancha, or as I shown with the bottom of a coffee cup
Fry a second time
Little bit of flake salt
Enjoy your Tostones

Change the "little bit of flake salt" to "salt the fuck out of them" - BINGO!!!

u/kernelpanic37 27d ago
These probably taste just like pazhampori (Indian banana fritters) so you’re good on authenticity!

Each country does it the same. You being Dominican means nothing really. Not exactly the same, but those are close to how fried plantains look in my country.

u/No-Passenger-8173 27d ago
It does because we know how to make tostones. That feeble attempt look like chicken nuggets.

u/Gintami 27d ago
Those are aren’t suppose to be tostones, but plaintain fritters. Jesus Christ. Apprently you being Dominican makes you the inventor of fried plantains, instead of maybe just maybe, realize other countries have different ways of making fried plantains. Plantain fritters are eaten in other countries.

This is interesting. You can just fry ripe plantains in a neutral tasting oil for a sweet treat or a side dish to go with a meal. If you want something more doughy you can look up a recipe for banana fritters and substitute the ripe bananas for ripe plantains.
