Preparation

Far far is typically prepared by deep-frying small pieces of the dough made from potato starch and tapioca. The dough is often flavored with spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Once fried, the pieces puff up and become crisp. They are then cooled and stored in airtight containers.
