Healthy Snacks-Dr Dileem's Doya Krispies

 Hello beautiful,it is such a bright day today. Kano weather has suddenly changed!! I decided to share this healthy snack recipe. It is easy,cheap and best of all healthy.’Doya’ is the word for yam in the Hausa language of Nigeria. There are lots of new yams on the market and in Kano you can really get confused with the variety. Depending on the species, you may be able to eat the head and the tail of the yam. If the species are not nice, the head and tail of the yams won’t be palatable. At home we call it ‘shukuru shukuru’ yam when the head and tail is not nice and of course no one would it it. I am not a fan of head and tail of yams whatever the species. I use them to make this recipe and it saves waste for me. I also use the body of the yam if I want to make a large amount. It I call it Dr Dileem’s Doya Krispies. It is a snack great for kids and adults.

Ingredients:

Yam

Salt

Ground Pepper (any ‘yaji’ mix will do)

Olive oil

Preparation:

Peel the yams

Slice into circles

Using a slanted grater, slice the yam into thin slices

Heat the oil, drop the yam strips gently into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the fry-pan else, they will stick together

Once there are no more bubbles around the Krispies,it means it is dry and all the moisture gone

Remove from the oil quickly so it does not get too brown.

Sprinkle on salt and pepper (or ‘yaji mix’) while it is still hot.

Enjoy!!
