Turrón: Deep fried sweet plantain in spring roll wrappers

Published: · Modified: ·by .This post may contain affiliate links ·
Turrón is a Philippine snack; I found it  when I was searching for South African munchies. I like plantains in every form raw, ripe, and over-ripe. In my home state, first food for the infant is usually powdered raw plantain cooked as puree. May be that taste lingered all through my life, whenever I see any dish with plantains I want to try them. As I got the usual “yes” from my hubby, I decided to try Turrón in my kitchen. I know it will taste good, as it uses plantain.
I will buy raw plantains every week and let them ripe in my kitchen table. Almost every day there will be a few ripe plantains in my house. However, I never buy spring roll wrappers as I am not making Chinese dishes very often. So this Saturday on the usual grocery shopping list one item got added, spring roll wrappers. When I read the recipes it looked easy, in addition to plantains it contains strips of Jackfruit (I can only dream about them) and brown sugar. Then I came across this recipe  where she is making turrón with small bananas. I made them with plantains and used only 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and ½ tablespoon of cinnamon. They are absolute delicious. If you like pazham pori/ethakaappam/ plantain fritters you are going to love this one too. It has the sweetness from the plantain and brown sugar and crispiness and saltiness form spring roll wrappers along with aroma of cinnamon. I didn’t use any cornstarch mixture to glue the spring roll wrappers I used only simple water. Enjoy with tea or coffee or even with ice cream. You are going to fell in love with them I bet.

What you need

Plantains: 3 ( I used ripe ones)
Brown sugar: 1 tablespoon
Cinnamon: ½ tablespoon
Spring Roll wrappers: 9 no
Water: ½ cup( for gluing )
Oil: 4 cup ( I used canola oil)

How I made

Peel and cut plantains in center into two then again cut them into 3 elongated pieces of 5 inches and Keep aside.

In a plate mix cinnamon and brown sugar and keep aside.

Cut each spring roll wrapper into two pieces.

Take one plantain and rub them with cinnamon sugar and place it in the center of spring roll wrapper.

Close them from one side, repeat with other side and seal the both ends by wetting them with water (Since I didn’t used any corn flour mixture to glue the sides they are not perfectly shaped).

 

Deep fry in hot oil until they become golden brown it takes about 11/2 minutes per sides.

Remove them using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil using kitchen towels.

Enjoy with hot tea or coffee or with ice cream. Anyway it tastes great.

Preparation time: 35 minutes
Yield: 18 no
Verdict: yummy
Will you make it again: Yes I will
