YAMARITA
Yamarita is plain boiled yam that is coated in egg, flour, ginger, garlic, and salt. Don’t forget the frying part. This is one of the most popular Hausa food. I see it in different restaurant every day, it is nearly as popular as suya. Yamarita is just easy and delicious. You can make this in just about 45 minutes. You can also serve with egg sauce, ketchup or sauce.
Preparation Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients For Yamarita
Yam
Eggs
Flour
Vegetable Oil
Teaspoon of ginger
Teaspoon of garlic
Grind pepper
Seasoning cubes
Pinch of salt
Step 1
Peel off the back of the yam, slice to any size, shapes and boil for about 15 minutes. It should be soft and well cooked. Drain and allow to cool.
Step 2
Mix all the spices in a bowl and whisk in the eggs (ginger, garlic, pepper, seasoning cube and salt).
Whisk all properly together and immerse the boiled yam in it.
Set your frying pan on the heat and add vegetable oil. Allow to heat for about 1 minute.
Immerse the boiled yam in your spiced barter and flip. Drop into the hot oil and fry.
Step 3
Fry and flip, don’t allow to burn. You can use a spoon to apply more of the spiced bartar while it fries. I like it’s heavily coated.
Then serve with your favorite sauce and juice. Grilled fish or chicken is a welcome addition.
