Let me give you a little illustration; Have you ever gone for a party or a function and they serve you puff-puff that tastes like plantain alongside other snacks? Well, it’s not actually puff-puff. It is called ‘Plantain mosa’ and as you would’ve observed, it is an honorary member of the small chops crew.

Plantain mosa is made from overripe plantains that are mashed and mixed along with other amazing ingredients. It is deep-fried in oil and comes out in shape and texture similar to that of puff-puff; one reason we all think it is plantain flavored puff-puff.
