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.
- 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
- 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.
 |  |
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.
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.
