Tatale
Ghanaian Plantain Pancakes
Tatale are savory, slightly sweet pancakes made from overripe plantains, seasoned with onions, peppers, and spices. They are shallow-fried until golden brown and can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or a side dish.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 2 large Very ripe plantains(skin should be all black)
- 2 Chiles(finely chopped (e.g., Scotch bonnet or habanero))
- 2 Scallions(chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Red palm oil(for batter, plus more for frying)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Self-rising flour
- as needed Oil for frying
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Peel the ripe plantains. Mash them thoroughly in a large bowl until a smooth paste forms. Using a food processor can make this easier if the plantains aren't extremely overripe.
💡 Conseils de pro: Overripe plantains with black skin are ideal for sweetness and ease of mashing. - 2
Add the finely chopped chiles, chopped scallions, salt, 1 teaspoon of red palm oil, and the beaten egg to the mashed plantains. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Gradually add the self-rising flour to the plantain mixture, mixing until a thick batter forms. The consistency should be scoopable but not too runny.
💡 Conseils de pro: If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of water; if too thin, add a bit more flour. - 4
Heat enough oil for shallow frying in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet. Flatten each spoonful slightly with the back of the spoon to form small pancakes.
💡 Conseils de pro: Maintain medium heat to ensure the pancakes cook through without burning. - 5
Fry the tatale for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip them carefully to ensure even cooking.

Remove the fried tatale from the skillet and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot.
💡 Conseils de pro: Tatale can be served with various accompaniments like shito, avocado, or a side of beans.
