Next, put all the cassava pieces and ground spices into a pan filled with water. To make it taste more delicious and savory, you can also add ground turmeric, flavorings, or other spices according to taste.
If all the ingredients have entered the pan, stir until evenly mixed. Turn on the stove and boil the cassava until half cooked. Don't forget to cover the pan so the cassava can cook faster.

After the cassava is boiled until half cooked, then turn off the heat on the stove. Let the cassava soak in the covered pot for 5 to 7 minutes. Later, the cassava will turn out to be softer, tastier and brighter.
"This is the blooming process, usually you lift it, drain it, then put it in ice water, but I don't use it like that, friends," explained the owner of the YouTube account Dapur Maffa, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (24/6).
After that, remove and drain the cassava. While waiting for the cassava to drain, prepare a frying pan filled with enough oil and heat it over medium stove heat. When the oil is really hot, immediately fry the cassava until crispy and brown.
