Preparation Steps

1

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine cassava flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Mix well.

2

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix water and vegetable oil together.

3

Make the Dough

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more cassava flour.

4

Shape the Puffs

Take small portions of the dough and shape them into balls or puff sizes. Make sure they are evenly sized.

5

Fry the Puffs

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the cassava puffs until they are golden brown on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the puffs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
