Hey everyone this is Alessandro Bruxel from Home Chef Seattle. Today I'm going to be sharing with
you the recipe for "MANDIOCA SUFLADA" which are these puffed up cassava flour chips.
This is a recipe from Brazilian chef Alex tala. For this recipe we're going to be using Brazilian
cassava flour which has heavier granules than most of the cassava flours you find
in the grocery stores here in the United States, they're very fine and they've had
most of their starch extracted from them, so they don't bind very well, you can find the Brazilian
cassava flour online, at Spanish grocery stores or Brazilian grocery stores.
Also make sure that you're buying the white cassava flour and not toasted. I hope you enjoy
the recipe, let's get started! As I mentioned we're going to be using Brazilian cassava flour,
as you can see it has heavier granules. Add one and a half cups into a large bowl
then add a pinch of salt, we're also going to be using one and a quarter to
one and a half cups of room temperature water. Start by adding one cup first
and mix it with your hands. Different flours may require different amounts of water.
If your dough is too dry keep on adding small increments of water until the dough comes
together. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until you have a nice and smooth dough
then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for
10 to 15 minutes, this will allow all the granules of the flour to get hydrated.
After resting, remove small portions of the dough and roll them into balls
then flatten the portions on a working surface. You can use your hand first and then a rolling pin
roll the dough to about one and a half to two millimeters in thickness,
then you can cut the dough into whatever shape you like, I'm using some round cutters.
Heat up some oil to 350 Fahrenheit 180 Celsius
then fry your dough basting it with the hot oil and it should puff up right away.
Flip the chips to fry on both sides until nice and golden
then move them to a wire rack or some paper towel to drain
you can sprinkle the chips with some salt as soon as they come out of the oil
As I mentioned you can cut the dough in different shapes,
as you can see I'm also making some in rectangular shape and they'll puff up like little pillows
and the "MANDIOCA SUFLADA" puffed up cassava chips are ready! Serve them with whatever
dipping sauce you wish, I'm eating mine today with some Brazilian cream cheese
