Dundun (food)

Dundun is a deep fried yam snack among the Yoruba people.[1][2] It is fried in peanut oil. It can be eaten as a meal at home or found as street food. It includes a dipping sauce of ata din din, a pepper sauce.[3] It can include sides of battered fishes like eja yoyo, small battered fried fish with fried prawns/shrimps and eja dindin, a number of battered fried fresh and frozen regular fishes. Dundun is usually crisp on the outside.[4] The yam is cut in thin layers before frying for extra crisp skin and edges. Dundun can also be sold with fried plantain and akara.[5] Cocoyam dundun is made from cocoyam, it is also sold as streetfood, cocoyam is also made and packaged as cocoyam chips.[6]
