Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 250 grams elephant foot yam (suran or jimikand) peeled, rinsed and sliced
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder or cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice or add according to taste
- salt as required
- oil for frying, as needed
For garnish
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
- 1 to 2 Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Peel, rinse thoroughly and slice the elephant foot yam in 0.3 to 0.4 cm slices.
- In a bowl mix the yam/jimikand slices with the rest of the ground spices, lemon juice and salt uniformly.
- Marinate the yam slices for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Shallow fry the yam slices in oil on a skillet, flat pan or tawa adding oil as needed.
- For the first batch, you can add about 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil and later add as required. Use any neutral tasting oil to fry.
- Fry until golden. Turn over the yam slices as needed, when they are being fried.
- Place the shallow fried yam chips on kitchen paper towels to remove any extra oil.
- Serve Yam Chips hot garnished with coriander leaves and lemon wedges.
Notes
- The marinated yam slices can also be baked or air-fried instead of shallow frying.
- As a substitute tamarind juice, white vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be added instead of lemon juice.
