Ingredients

Plantain
Fresh tomatoes
Fresh pepper
Scent leave
Maggi
Salt
Onions
Groundnut oil

Step 1

I peeled the plantain then washed it and put it in a pot, added water and set it on the stove.

step 2

I washed the tomatoes and peppers and used the grater to grate them into tiny pieces.
I also cut the onions into tiny bits.

step 3

I added salt to the plantain as it started boiling. Then after 15 minutes I brought it down and filtered the water out.

step 4

I put a pot on fire and added groundnut oil to it, when it became hot I sprinkled some salt then I went in with the tomatoes, onions and pepper. I kept stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't get burnt. When the tomatoes was done cooking I added Maggi and the scent leave which I had cut. Then I brought the pot down from fire.

The delicious meal is ready
