Plantain mosa
Plantain mosa is a Nigerian snack popular among the Yoruba people, which is a component of small chops[1]. Other components of small chops include grilled chicken, spring roll, samosa and puff-puff.[2]
Mosa is similar to the Ghanaian tatale except that it is made with over-ripe plantain, eggs and flour, while tatale is made with plantain, ginger and spices. Puff-puff and mosa are also similar except that mosa has the taste of plantain.[3][4]
Some other ingredients used in making plantain mosa include onion, vegetable oil, bonnet pepper and yeast. The mashed plantain is deep-fried until brown alongside other ingredients; mosa can also be eaten as breakfast.[5]
