The side Dish: Kelewele (spiced fried plantain)
We will take ripe, sweet plantains (a rare delicacy in Japan!), cube them up, and toss them in a fragrant paste of fresh ginger, chili, and cloves before shallow-frying them to crispy, caramelized perfection.
The Dessert: sweet Golden Buffrot (Puff-Puff)
The Fun Part: Kids and adults alike will love mixing the yeast dough, watching it rise, and seeing the dough balls magically puff up and float into golden perfection in the pan.
