Crispy Yam Fries

Here is a simple and easy to make yam fries in the Indian way. Serve it hot and crispy with rice or have it as a snack. I don’t know the perfect name of this. The grocery store label say this as Yam. (It is not sweet potato or tapioca) . Click the link to see the yam I used.

Ingredients
Yam – 1 small
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Chilly powder – 1 tsp 
Tamarind paste – 1/8 tsp
Salt
Oil for deep frying

Method
1. Peel off the skin of the Yam and wash it and cut it into desirable shape. (I cut it like french fries).
2. Take little water in a pan , add chilly powder, turmeric powder, tamarind juice, salt and add the vegetable. Cook till the vegetable is half done. (until the water gets dry)
3. Now in a frying pan, add oil and deep fry the cooked yam until brown and crispy and serve hot with rice.
Note: You can also fry it directly in oil without cooking it before. But I prefer to half cook it before and fry again. It reduced the frying time and with little oil.
