“Gato arouille” (Taro root fritters)

The Taro root is a starchy root vegetable, originally grown in Asia but now enjoyed worldwide. It has a brown outer layer and white flesh with purple splotches. When baked, the flavor is slightly sweet and the texture is similar to that of potatoes.

These fritters are made by grating the roots and fry them until they are crisp. It has a mildly sweet and savory gingery flavor.  It one of the recipes from the Sino-Mauritian culture that everyone enjoys.

I like savoring those little fritters with red chilies!

You must give it a try when you visit my Island.
