Yam also known as Elephant's Foot is a well known Vegetable to all. It grows under the Soil in the form of a tuber and is basically a powerhouse of nutrients.
Yams are the cheapest sources of Carbohydrates and energy. They contain a high amount of Minerals, Protiens, Vitamins, Antioxidants and Dietary Fibres. This Vegetable is s poor man's food. It's absolutely loved by everyone and this has a mildly sweet taste just like those of Sweet Potatoes.
And it has to be cooked before consuming and cannot be eaten raw as it's toxic if done so.
This is used in many a delightful preparations across the Country. Known by many names, like Suran or Jimikand, Yam or Ole or even Elephant's Foot, this is a lovely Vegetable. Today I share here a simple recipe of crisp and crunchy Chips. Let's get started.

Steps

25 minutes

1

Wash Yam thoroughly until it's clean of all the dirt and the sand particles. Chop off the skin. Apply a bit of cooking Oil to your hands before doing so or better still, wear kitchen gloves like me if you are used to using them. Otherwise apply a little Oil to your hands. The reason behind this is the itchiness caused due to it. It's always better to be cautious.
2

Using a slicer, slice it thinly. Keep them immersed in Salted water until the Oil gets heated up. Deep fry these Chips in enough hot Oil on a medium to high heat. These get done very quickly. So keep an eye on them. Drain on an absorbent paper.
3

Sprinkle with Chat Masala or even some Red Chilli powder for that extra punch. Yum! Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
