Psssttt..This is my secret "Seed-Spice Blend" recipe that I had meant to take to the grave..but since I am a very magnanimous person with a splendid spirit to share, I have decided to let you all have it instead.What is so special about this spice mix? Nothing except the fact that I came up with this recipe after many trail and errors. All in all, its a very simple recipe with a major flavor kick. And. Not. At. All. "Spicy".
**This spice blend can be used for Potato and Yucca-Root/Cassava/Tapioca fry or even Steamed chick peas**
Ingredients:
**This spice blend can be used for Potato and Yucca-Root/Cassava/Tapioca fry or even Steamed chick peas**
Ingredients:
- Taro Root - 12#s, midsized
- Olive oil - 3-4 tbsp
- Salt for taste
- Peppercorns - 1 1/2 tsp
- Cumin seeds - 1/3 tsp
- Coriander seeds - 1/2 tsp
- Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
- Granulated garlic - 1/2 tsp (Fine garlic powder may be used instead)
- In a pot, add the taro root and cover with water. Boil it until its almost cooked but firm enough to retain shape.
- Dunk it in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Remove skin, roughly chop into big chunks. Set aside.
- In a skillet, dry roast all the ingredients except granulated garlic until they exude aroma.
- Using a mortar and pestle, powder the roasted ingredients along with granulated garlic to a fine powder.
- To a wide skillet, heat oil and add the spice blend.
- Add the chunky taro, sprinkle salt and fry on low flame, stirring constantly until they are browned evenly for about 15-20 minutes.
