Dodo
Nigerian ripe plantain slices salted and deep-fried until golden and caramelised at the edges.
About Dodo
Dodo is the Nigerian name for ripe plantain sliced and fried in oil, commonly eaten at breakfast or beside rice and stews. This profile follows All Nigerian Recipes' minimal salted version using firm ripe plantain and vegetable oil.
Ripe plantain brings concentrated sweetness with a gentle savoury balance from salt. Frying caramelises its natural sugars and adds a clean fried richness without masking the fruit's tropical flavour.
The slices are deep golden with darker caramelised rims and a light surface sheen. Their edges are softly crisp while the centres remain tender, dense and creamy rather than brittle like plantain chips.
