Tapioca chips

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Tapioca chips are a deep fried snack food made from thin wafers of cassava root, eaten widely in South India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, where they are called kripik singkong, and Malaysia, where they are called kerepek ubi. Peeled cassava is sliced thin and fried, typically in coconut oil, then salted or spiced, commonly with red chili powder. They keep longer than raw cassava and are crunchier than potato or banana chips, and cassava in this processed form is also traded in bulk as a commodity for making alcohol, animal feed, biofuel and starch.
