Fried plantain is an African dish cooked wherever
plantains grow, from
West Africa through
Central Africa to
East Africa. It is called
aloco in
Côte D'Ivoire and
dodo in
Nigeria.
Fried plantain may be served as a snack, a starter or as a side dish to a main course, such as Jollof rice, spicy barbecued meat or the West-African-style soups (which more closely approximate stews).
