How to make Aipim Frito – Cassava Chips Recipe
Tastier than potato chips, deep-fried cassava chips are a simple but delicious Brazilian specialty. Very crispy and crunchy on the outside but fluffy and creamy on the inside. Have it with a cracking cold glass of beer or a good caipirinha.

It’s plentiful and yet it’s so bloody epxensive inthe UK.
@nandocuca Thank you for your reply, that shop I visited just now does not
sell cassava (tapioca) lol.., the name of the shop is call SHOP N SAVE. Lol

The powder is a mixture of Cinnamon and Sugar. The black things I poke into
the onion are cloves. It’s not 100% necessary but it does make it tastier.
Hi, to make it more tasty beside salt, sugar and what is the power call?
Also what is the black thing you poke onto the onion ? Can somebody tell
me? I going to get it to try ASAP
Nice!
In Kenya, we deep fry cassava and sprinkle chili with salt and drizzle with
lemon juice..oh so good! I will try this method..
@CencalArea Cassava most probably entered Brazil from Central America,
where a similar species was already being cultivated by the Mayans for
centuries. It will have made its way to the Amazon and spread down Brazil
by the indians. It was only later that it was taken by Portuguese sailors
to their colonies around the globe – including Africa and South Asia. Many
of the African recipes which required yams or bread-fruit were adapted to
use cassava. I hope that helped.
They turned out pretty well but my friend in Brazil told me mine were old
because they took forever to boil until tender. Problem with where I live,
I guess.
@Ginobambino100 Thanks Gino. Cassava chips are really so nice and crunchy
outside and silky inside.
@JediAnneable That sounds really nice. I must try that. Brazilians in
general are chilli wimps. Some Brazilians think they enjoy hot food but I
have never had anything as hot as a Vindaloo or some of the Malaysian
dishes I have had in the UK.
