Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 medium green plantains; 1 large red potato; 1 teaspoon garam masala; 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more to taste; 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin; 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan (or you can use vegetable oil for the cooking); 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste; 1 teaspoon finely minced ginger; 1/2 cup diced red onions; 1/2 cup chopped herbs (I like a mix of cilantro, parsley, and mint); 1 jalapeno or serrano, thinly sliced (if you'd like to reduce the heat, remove ribs and seeds)

Servings: persons

2 medium green plantains
1 large red potato
1 teaspoon garam masala
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan (or you can use vegetable oil for the cooking)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon finely minced ginger
1/2 cup diced red onions
1/2 cup chopped herbs (I like a mix of cilantro, parsley, and mint)
1 jalapeno or serrano, thinly sliced (if you'd like to reduce the heat, remove ribs and seeds)

1
Cut off the ends of the plantains. Halve them through the middle, widthwise, so you have four pieces (each about the size of the potato).
2
Boil the plantain and the potato until soft. Remove from water, let cool and then peel.
3
In a large bowl, mash the plantain and potatoes together. (It'll be a bit lumpy). Add the spices, oil, and salt. Mix some more to resemble mashed potatoes. Fold in the ginger, onion, herbs, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
4
Roll into balls and press down to form cakes if you like. Arrange all on a plate, ready for frying.
5
Heat about 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the cakes in batches, until golden brown on both sides. When done, place the fried cakes on a paper towel lined plated.
6
Serve with your favorite dipping condiment. Enjoy!
