Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. It's a beautiful Saturday morning, and I believe that we have all got awesome plans for the weekend.
In this post, I will take you through the process of making one of my favorite snacks in a vegan style and believe you will love it. The very first time I had this was quite memorable, and it's something I bless myself with once in a while, most especially when the craving sets in.
You can barely find the vegan version of this snack, and I didn't regret giving it a try. It automatically means being a vegan doesn't deprive you of having delicious snacks as well.
This snack is called carrot and water yam fritters. It's easy to prepare, very affordable, and healthy as well.
Ingredients
- 1 kg of Water yam (Dioscorea alata)
- 4 pieces of small carrot.
- 14 pieces of red pepper.
- 3 balls of small onion.
- Half tablespoon ginger seasoning
- 0.5l of Groundnut oil.
- Half teaspoon of salt
Let's go into the preparation.
- I started by cutting the water yam into small pieces.
 |  |
- I peeled the back of the water yam, ensured all dirt was properly removed, and kept them in a plastic bag containing water.
 |  |
- I rinsed the yam thoroughly in the clean water and went on to grate it with a grater. I used the smallest hole on the grater so the wateryam texture will be smooth.
 |  |
 |  |
After grating the water yam completely, I washed the grater and rinsed the carrots in clean water.
 |  |
- I grated the carrot as well and kept it aside.
- Finally, with processing the recipes, I chopped the onions and pepper on a board before going on to the next step.
 |  |
It's time to mix.
With all the ingredients processed, I am not far from enjoying my tasty carrot and water yam fritters.
I took the bowl containing the grated water yam.
 |  |
- I added the chopped onions and pepper.
- I added the grated carrots.
 |  |
- I added half a tablespoon of ginger seasoning.
 |  |
- I added half a teaspoon of salt.
 |  |
- I took my turning stick and started mixing; it would have been a lot easier if there was electricity to power my portable mixer.
- I mixed the ingredients thoroughly until they all blended well into each other.
Final step.
I set the mixture aside and rinsed my frying pan.
- I placed it on the burner and allowed it to heat before turning my groundnut into the frying pan.
When the groundnut oil had heated well, I reduced the heat from the burner because I do be frying on low heat.
- I took a small quantity of the mixture with my clean hand, I made sure it had a smooth texture and just put it in the hot groundnut oil.
- I repeated the process until my frying pan was filled up.
- I started turning the mixture in the pan after 30 seconds to prevent them from sticking to the pan, and immediately both sides turned golden brown.
- I started removing them from the hot oil.
- I transferred them from the hot oil into a plastic sieve to drain any excess oil.
- I repeated the process until I exhausted the mixture and my snack was ready.
The carrot and water yam fritters are spicy and very delicious. I have seen people take pap, custard, and others with this snack, but I prefer eating it alone.

It's more satisfying serving it alone, especially when it's still warm.

I pray to have a husband that cooks just as good otherwise hunger o 😂
Lolz... See a professional chef looking for a husband that can cook.
I believe a man cooking is just a plus for the family because most times, work don't give them time to do these things. Glad you like my recipe, cheers to a beautiful weekend.
Avoid me 😂...
A lovely weekend to you too 😊
Water yam can actually be prepared in different ways and this one is top notch.
Sadly I do react to it, would have given it a try.
Good job.
Yes, that's true. It can be prepared in different ways.
Sorry you are allergic to it, I can tell how annoying it is when you love a particular food and can't eat it as you want.

We have bigger water yam here, it's just that we don't enjoy it throughout the year because it's a seasonal crop.
