This is a classic Trinidadian curry of fried plantains finished in chicken stock with curry powder. For a vegetarian version substitute the chicken stock with a good mushroom stock.

Ingredients:

5 ripe plantains
pinch of salt
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
150ml chicken stock
3 tsp Trini curry powder

Method:

Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a small pan, add the garlic then take off the heat and set aside.

Peel the plantains and cut into 12mm thick slices. Add oil to a depth of 5cm in a wok or deep pan then stir-in 2 tsp of the curry powder and add the plantain slices at a time and fry until lightly golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen paper to drain.

Allow the plantain slices to cool until they can be handled then flatten by rolling with a glass or rolling pin.

Return the chicken stock to the heat, add the remaining curry powder then bring to a boil and add the fried plantains. Cook for about 10 minutes and serve with roti.
