  2. In a bowl mix the yam/jimikand slices with the rest of the ground spices, lemon juice and salt uniformly.
  3. Marinate the yam slices for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Shallow fry the yam slices in oil on a skillet, flat pan or tawa adding oil as needed.
  5. 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.
  6. Fry until golden. Turn over the yam slices as needed, when they are being fried.

  • 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.
