Notes

Expert Tips:

Yam: Buy a which is tender and fresh.  Wash the yam throughly under running water it has impurities in it.

Peel out the skin that is absolutely must to make a crispy yam fry.

Remove Itchiness: This method of frying the yams does not have the itchiness because we pressure the yam with other spices that helps to increase the flavour.

Yam Slice: Slice the yam little thicker than thin because if you slice thin the yam would cook well and turn mushy.
