Spicy Taro Fries!

Who doesn't love French Fries? Everyone Does! Even though they are deep fried and loaded with fat :). But one does get conscious of the fat intake. Right?

This time let's try something that's healthy and equally delicious (even more) if you like spicy and crispy!We are going to make some Taro Root Fries!



Taro Root is a starchy, potato-like tuber with a brown, fibrous skin and gray-white (sometimes purple-tinged) flesh.It is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber. These Fries are not deep-fried, instead they are cooked in a Flat Bottomed Skillet with little bit of oil till they are crispy.
