Cassava Chips

Tastier than potato chips, deep-fried cassava chips are a simple but delicious Brazilian specialty. Very crispy and crunchy on the outside but fluffy and creamy on the inside. Have it with a cracking cold glass of beer or a good caipirinha.

In Kenya, we deep fry cassava and sprinkle chili with salt and drizzle with lemon juice..oh so good! I will try this method..

@JediAnneable That sounds really nice. I must try that. Brazilians in general are chilli wimps. Some Brazilians think they enjoy hot food but I have never had anything as hot as a Vindaloo or some of the Malaysian dishes I have had in the UK.

Correct me if I'm wrong please,but the thing that got my interested on this video was my WORLD GEOGRAPHY homework.i was reading a chapter of Oil-rich nation of west Africa and it says that CASSAVA is a African vegetable not Brazilian?? I'm confuse??

[nandocuca]

@CencalArea Cassava most probably entered Brazil from Central America, where a similar species was already being cultivated by the Mayans for centuries. It will have made its way to the Amazon and spread down Brazil by the indians. It was only later that it was taken by Portuguese sailors to their colonies around the globe - including Africa and South Asia. Many of the African recipes which required yams or bread-fruit were adapted to use cassava. I hope that helped.

u should put fires in your tags.. us yanks assume chips means like potato chips, which u call crisps. there are cassava crisps (chips) widely sold too and those are damn tasty. really crucnhy!!

[Ginobambino100]

They turned out pretty well but my friend in Brazil told me mine were old because they took forever to boil until tender. Problem with where I live, I guess.

@Teaser7 Try spreading some grated parmesan on top then. Leave the cinnamon for another day.

[Teaser7]

Havent tried it before but gonna try it today...havent got cinnamon though...oh welll!!!

@allthings509 I don't think that's what I said but.... Cassava is native of Brazil and was planted by our indigenous population for a long time before the arrival of the Portuguese and still planted today. The introduction of the cassava to other dishes like the Bobó is or its use in baking like 'Bolo de Aipim' is certainly something which only occurred due to the colonisation of Brazil and the traffic of slaves bought by the Portuguese.
