About Suran Rava Fry
Suran Rava Fry is an easy-to-make dish that highlights the earthy flavors of yam. To begin, the yam is peeled and sliced into thin, even pieces, ensuring they cook evenly and attain a crispy texture. These slices are then coated with a flavorful masala paste . Once the yam slices are well-coated with the masala paste, they are dipped into a mixture of rice flour and semolina (rava). The rice flour provides a light, crisp coating, while the semolina adds a nice crunch. The yam slices are then shallow fried until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender on the inside.
Suran Rava Fry is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish with rice and dal, or enjoyed as a standalone snack.
