Yamarita is made with puna yam,which is a common type of yam in west Africa.puna yam can be prepared in a variety of ways,so today I decided to try my skills besides I love food.
the Nigerian yamarita.
First I cut out the quantity of yam i want to prepare,then I cut them round at about 1inch thick,peel it off and cut them into sizeable shapes.rinse it off immediately so it doesn't turn black.
Put them into the pot and let it boil for about 4mins,since I'll also be frying it later,am going to be needing it a bit undercooked.
When its soft a bit I turn it into cool water to stop the cooking process.in two different bowls,I whisk two eggs mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.in the other bowl I have flour,pepper,salt maggi,grinded garlic,curry powder and thym.
I take the yam one piece at a time,dip it into my egg mixture and straight into the flour mixture.when am done my yam looks like this.
Then I take it to the frying pan.you don't need much oil to fry this,just about 6table spoon of oil is enof.
When it turn brown a bit,I take it out of the oil and let it cool off a bit.
