“Kelewele” is a popular Ghanaian street food made from fried plantains seasoned with a blend of spices. It’s a beloved snack or side dish enjoyed across Ghana and beyond.
The basic process of making Kelewele involves cutting ripe plantains into bite-sized pieces, marinating them in a mixture of spices such as ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and sometimes onions or peppers, and then frying them until golden brown and crispy. The result is a flavorful and aromatic snack with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
There are a lot of kelewele joints in Accra and the recent one happens to be king Kelewele at Ajingano, Accra. This spot has different varieties of toppings for the kelewele which include groundnuts, peanut butter, ice cream and chocolate syrup.
The joint also has air-fried kelewele for customers that prefer something healthy instead of the normal oil-fried plantain. If you are a plantain lover and in Accra, then you need to try check this joint out.
