Ingredients
  

  • 500 gm cassava peeled and cubed
  • salt as needed
  • fresh coriander
  • pinch of turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic paste
  • 2-4 tbsp gram flour/besan
  • chilli powder

Instructions
 

  • Cut your cassava into bite sized pieces, wash and then boil with some salt, coriander stems, a tiny pinch of turmeric n garlic paste until its halfway done.
    Remove into a colander and let them dry and cool a little bit.
    Then spread the pieces out on a plate n sprinkle with some gram flour and chilli powder. Fry in hot oil for a few minutes until perfectly golden. Remove, blot out excess oil and serve hot with tamarind sauce or lemon!
    They should turn out super crispy on the outside and melt-in-mouth cotton soft when you bite into them.
