What happens when Rita fries yam dipped in whisked eggs? Yep! you guessed right…..”Yamarita” is what happens…lol! i still wonder how this name was coined but i must admit, it does sound catchy. Most times, i often remember to make Yamarita whenever i want to recycle leftover boiled yam from the previous days meal. Yamarita is a meal made from boiled yam dipped in whisked egg and then fried till golden brown. Most fast foods usually serve up hot Yamaritas on daily basis and i do see how people gush about it. Yamarita is often served with any Hot dipping sauce or stew. It’s also easy to make and straight forward as i’m about to show you in this quick tutorial….
