Ingredients:

Plantain Ripe - 1 big
All Purpose Flour - 1/2 cup(If you are health conscious use wheat flour)
Yellow Color / Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp ( optional)
Salt - a pinch
Sugar - 1 tbsp
Baking Soda (optional) - 1/4 tsp,to get a crispy outer coating,If you like soft leaving baking soda,I prefer without baking soda.
Water - to make batter
Oil - for frying

Method:

1.Cut plantain into slices like shown below
                                  
2.In a wide bowl mix all other ingredients and make a batter of thick yet coating consistency.MAke sure batter is thick other wise it will run in oil.And Don't make it too thick so you can't coat plantains.

3.Heat oil in a pan to medium to high heat,when oil is hot enough you can test it with one plantain dipped in batter ,it should immediately get fried rather than sitting in oil slowly frying and absorbing oil  and check taste and make any adjust to the batter if you want to.
