YUCA / CASAVA FRITTERS

More from the Vacation and its food related

So whilst in Punta Cana we tried their Yuca Fritters, another thing that made me think of Dar, the mogo or Yuca as it is popularly known round here.

These yummylicious fritters were just mouth watering so being a foodie I asked the chef for the recipe. Their recipe was fairly straight forward but in mine I have added a few more ingredients to make these spicy and aromatic and it is my recipe that I am sharing with you today.

Enjoy these with a baridi beer or mojitos like we did.  Do give these golden morsels a try please and hope you enjoy them

1 cup yuca /casava ( boiled and mashed)

2 teaspoons chili flakes

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 teaspoon butter

oil for frying

Boil yuca until soft. Once its cooked,drain the water. Mash until nice and soft. Add salt,chili flakes, lime juice and butter. Mix until combine throughly. Scoop out little mixture and roll into equal tight balls. Set aside. Heat the oil in kadai, deep fry on high heat. Dont flip, just little stir from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of kadai. Once the fritters are golden brown, remove from the oil and let them drain on a kitchen towel. Enjoy ooohhhh so simple but creamy googness …..
