Dodo is ripe plantain cut into thick pieces and fried until the outside caramelises to a deep gold and the inside turns soft and sweet. It is the side dish nobody skips.
It goes with jollof rice, fried rice, beans, stew, eggs or a plate of peppered meat, and it does something useful too: the sweetness cools the pepper on the rest of the plate. It carries no heat of its own, which is why it balances a fiery plate so well.
Order online for pickup or delivery in Kigali, or eat it fresh from the pan at Jollof Bistro — The Best Nigerian Food in Kigali in Remera.
