Yamarita

Many people love this lovely meal made popular by Tasty Fried Chicken Eatery. It is convenient to cook.

Ingredients:

1/2 tuber of medium Yam cut into rectangular pieces

1 Egg

1 Cup Plain Flour

Cooking Oil for deep frying

1 Teaspoon Cayenne/Atagungun

1 seasoning cube

1/2 Teaspoon Curry Powder

1 Teaspoon ground nutmeg 

1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder 

Salt to taste

Method

Wash the yam thoroughly, place in a small pot add water to cover the yam, add just a little bit of salt and  boil on medium heat for 10 minutes. Boil till its tender but still very firm, remember you’re still going to fry the yam to complete the cooking process. Drain the water afterwards and leave to cool.

On a flat plate, combine the flour, pepper, seasoning cube, curry powder and other spices and set aside.

Break the egg into a flat plate, add salt to taste and set aside, you can also add a bit of seasoning. Dip each yam into the egg mixture.

This step isn’t necessary but if you like an extra bit of crunchiness, then you can do this. This step also helps the flour stick to the yam better.

When that’s done, place each yam into the flour mixture, coat the yam chunks with the flour mixture ensuring each yam is well covered. When you’re done coating the yam, set them on a flat plate. Then dip each flour coated yam into the egg mixture, ensure the egg mixture covers the yam as much as possible.

Now add the cooking oil into a hollow pan, set it on low-medium heat, when the oil heats up, dip each flour and egg coated yam into the oil and fry on all sides till slightly brown.

You can serve with any fried sauce of your choice.
