Yamarita step by step

  1. Cut your yam into desired shapes and boil it using a pinch of salt and sugar.

  2. In a separate bowl break your eggs and add seasonings and keep it aside.

  3. Sieve your flour and add seasonings in it too.

  4. Get your boiled yam and dip it in egg then in flour then in egg again.

  5. Fry and serve.

The main reason for the adaptation of this recipe was to help keep the yam soft and nice even when it's cold because yam has a way of getting hard when its cold.

Yamarita can be eaten as a snack with a spicy dip like the Green pepper sauce, ketchup and spicy mayonnaise or as a meal with tomato stew, egg stew, mackerel in tomato sauce and vegetable stew.

Other spin-offs are coating leftover boiled sweet potato and irish potato, I wonder if they will be called pota-rita, bright idea right?…any suggestions?

Method - Yamarita Cut the yam in rectangular shapes, wash and boil with salt and water.

The water should not be too much so that the yam wouldn't be too soft and break to pieces.
