Mosa is a Nigerian snack that is made from very ripe plantains to which eggs and spices are added. It’s very similar to ojojo and akara (made from blended beans) and like the last two, it is deep fried, so this would be an occasional snack due to all that oil unless of course you don’t mind.
It’s quite tasty and pretty easy to make and the plantain I used for this was supposed to be for a boiled plantain recipe, but it ripened quite quickly, so I had to come up with a plan B and mosa it was! For directions & more, keep reading!

I’m not sure what the English name would be for ‘Ojojo,’ but what I do know is that it is grated water yam to which onions and spices are added. It’s kinda like akara (fried bean cake) or mosa.
It’s pretty easy to make; the downside, it’s deep fried. Although I’m sure it can be baked as well, though it might take longer before it browns. It’s a once in blue moon snack, so indulge, will you?! For directions & more, keep reading!
