Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams yam
- 250 ml vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Peel the yam and slice it into 1/4 inch thick rounds or wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, add the yam slices and drizzle with lemon juice.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt over the yams. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the yam evenly.
Heat vegetable oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the spiced yam slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each batch for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the yams are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried yams and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Garnish the yam fry with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot as a snack or side dish.
