InstructionsPeel plaintains and cut at an angle into 5 pieces each. Place oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat. In a small bowl, add remaining ingredients and set aside. Place cut plaintains in hot oil. Cook plaintains for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove plaintains and lower heat. Quickly flatten plaintains using a plaintain smasher (Tostonera).
