2. Heat up a frying pan and pour about 2 cups of vegetable oil.
3. Next gently drop plantain piece after piece into the hot oil but do not overcrowd the pan. Fry on both sides for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside the plantain in a sieve line with paper towel to drain the oil.
4. In a skillet, heat up olive oil on medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic for 1 minute. Next add curry powder, thyme, seasoning cube, ground pepper, sausage and salt to taste. Stir and leave to cook for another 3 minutes on medium heat.
