- Once you have peeled the banana, cut the slices.
- This is a cross section and what makes this dish special, if the cut is not like that, they are no longer slices.
- Now, heat a frying pan with oil and fry the slices.
- Make sure the oil is very hot before adding the plantains, and then you can lower the flame a bit so they don’t burn too quickly.
