SPICY TAPIOCA CHIPS
Ingredients:
Chips:
100 grms tapioca slice into thin chips.
Oil for frying
Chillie Jam:
6 fresh red chillies, deseeded
1 pip garlic
¼ cup sugar
1 tbs dark brown sugar
1 tbs bottled chillie sauce ( if you do not have home made one )
1 tbs oil
125 ml water
Salt to taste
Method:
Slice the tapioca into thin chips.
Heat oil and deep fry, remove and keep aside.
Grind the chillies and garlic into a coarse paste.
Put all the other ingredients with the chillies in a small pot.
Cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
Reduce the flame and cook till it becomes like a thick jam.
Remove from the stove.
Now place the chips in a large bowl, pour the jam on top of the chips.
Using a salad spoon and fork, turn the chips, over until they are well
coated with the chillie jam. It will look a bit sticky.
When cool, store in an air tight container.
Serve as a starter or a snack.

Thanks to the owners of the pictures.
Dev, actually I had talks with my friends, who normally do dips.
They say, you can make a dip with any vege of your choice.
Like, roasted red peppers, roasted tomatoes, roasted brinjals and so on.
Important ingredient is either curds, or mayonise.
You can add any spice of your choice too. sesame seeds, groundnuts.
Like roasted garlic, cumin, coriander, and so on.
Let your imagination run wild, and you will get a nice dip.
My aunt says, even our chutneys are like a dip too.
Even though, we do not serve dips in our functions.
Who cares:smokesmirk:
Dev, here is how I cut the veges as starters, and serve with a dip.

I do not like shop bought ones, as I dislike the over used oil that they use.
You can try making a small batch first.
I will post the recipe for you.
Dev, thanks for answering the question for Lakme.
I too have to go through the blog to check.
Thanks Dev, Take care, Kugan98
Dev, here is the method: Kugan98
TAPIOCA CHIPS
Ingredients:
100 grms tapioca cleaned ( choose small round ones )
Little salt dissolved in water
Oil for frying.
Method:
Clean and remove the dark outer skin of the tapioca.
Heat enough oil for frying in a wok.
Using a vegetable slicer, slice the tapioca directly into the oil.
Deep fry the tapioca slices for 5 minutes or until the sides are
slightly golden in colour. Do not over crowd them.
Add 1 tsp of salt water, to the first batch, and then reduce the,
quantity slightly for the following batches.
Since the salt is absorbed by the chips, only a little will remain in the oil.
The tapioca chips will become hard if you over fry them.
Chips will not be crispy when hot. You need to cool them a bit.
The colour will be good white with slightly golden brown sides.
Drain it from oil and keep it in paper towel to remove excess oil.
Store in an air tight container after it is cold.
