Ingredients

  • 2 large Cassava, peeled and cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Tamarind Paste
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili Flakes

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 large Cassava (peeled and cut into fries) with 2 tablespoons Olive Oil, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon Paprika. Toss the ingredients together until all the cassava pieces are evenly coated.
  2. 2Spread the seasoned cassava pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Bake in the preheated oven at about 205°C (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping the cassava pieces halfway through the baking time (after about 15-17 minutes). Continue baking until the fries are golden brown and crispy to the touch.
  3. 3While the cassava fries are baking, prepare the tamarind chutney. In a small saucepan, combine the 2 tablespoons Tamarind Paste, 1/4 cup Water, 1 tablespoon Sugar, 1/2 teaspoon grated Ginger, 1 clove minced Garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon Chili Flakes.
  4. 4Place the small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the chutney mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously to dissolve the sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chutney thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. 5Once the cassava fries are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Serve the hot cassava fries immediately with the warm tamarind chutney.
