Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium Sweet potato
  • 2 tbsp Rice flour
  • 2 tbsp Semolina
  • 1 tsp Red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder optional
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil or coconut oil – for shallow frying

Method
 

  1. Prep the sweet potatoes: Wash, peel, and slice them into medium-thick rounds.
  2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix the sweet potato slices with salt, red chili powder, turmeric, and cumin powder (if using). Let them sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors blend in.
  3. Coat: Add rice flour and semolina. Toss gently to coat each slice evenly. If needed, sprinkle a few drops of water to help the coating stick.
  4. Fry: Heat a griddle or pan with a little oil. Place the slices and cover the pan. Fry on medium flame until they turn golden and crisp on both sides.
  5. Serve: Enjoy them hot, straight off the pan, with a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh coconut.
  6. Tip: For extra crunch, don’t overcrowd the pan — fry in small batches so each slice crisps up perfectly!

Notes

Pair with dal–rice for a simple comforting meal.
Serve as a tea-time snack with a side of green chutney.
