    Can substitute unsalted butter for ghee, and mild chillies of your choice for Scotch bonnet chillies.

    Amazing flavour, easy to make. I omitted the chilli so my kids would eat it.

    I had some frighteningly black plantains when I got home from a trip which of course were perfect in this dish! I thought the sweet/spicy flavor of this dish was outstanding. No leftovers! it was almost a dessert.

    This was very good, sweet with a spicy kick. The garam masala made for a nice spice choice and I enjoyed the cinnamon undernotes. I did not have scotch bonnet chilies so I replaced with bird’s eye chilies. A nice preparation of plantains, I would make this again.

    I’m not sure that what I bought were plantains because they were very sweet and soft….like bananas that took 2 weeks to ripen. The end result was pretty good and nicely spiced but I’m not sure I’ll try again
