Recipe: At Home Yam Fritters or Yamarita Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Yam Fritters or Yamarita. Yamarita is a native word used to describe the outcome of this fried yam chips, which means thinly sliced cooked yams coated with egg and flour and then fried in oil. Yams are one of the staple Nigerian foods. But unfortunately, few people cook it in any way other than boiling and frying.

Overcrowding the Ojojo water yam fritters drops the temperature of the oil thereby making it soak up oil.
