1 In a small bowl, stir together seasoning salt, black pepper, white pepper, cumin, curry powder, paprika, MSG (if using), and cayenne.
2 Cut off the ends of each plantain.
3 Peel plantains.
4 Cut plantains in half crosswise.
5 Using a mandoline slicer, slice plantains lengthwise into planks 1/8-inch thick.
6 Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. Fill a large, deep cast iron or stainless steel skillet halfway with oil. Set over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). Working in batches and avoiding crowing the pan, add plantain slices and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 4 minutes total. Using a spider strainer or slotted spoon, transfer plantains to wire rack to drain. Immediately season all over with the spice mixture followed by a sprinkling of salt. Repeat with remaining plantain slices.
