Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cassava, chopped onion, scotch bonnet pepper, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Add the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir until fully incorporated, ensuring the mixture is well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Form the Balls

    Using your hands, scoop out a portion of the mixture and form it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).

  5. 5

    Fry the Balls

    Carefully place the cassava balls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
