    Please what about yeast?
    Isn’t it supposed to be like plantain flavored puff puff?
    It turns out a loot different without yeast

      Yes, it can be a bit oily, but that can be avoided by frying with less oil or pressing the Mosa down with the frying spoon when you transfer into the pan(but this might flatten it out)
