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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the yam and slice it into 1/4 inch thick rounds or wedges.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the yam slices and drizzle with lemon juice.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the spiced yam slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Fry each batch for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the yams are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried yams and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Garnish the yam fry with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Step 9
Serve hot as a snack or side dish.
