Chipa Almidón – Cheese And Starch Bread

Chipa Guasu is delicious, but it's quite large and heavy. If you're looking for a cuter and more compact version of Chipa, consider Chipa Almidón, also known as "starch Chippa" in Spanish.

Chipa Almidón is made from the same ingredients as Chipa Guasu in Paraguay. However, anise seeds are added, and corn grains are replaced with yuca flour (hence the "starch" part). Also, rather than baking the entire batter, people divide the dough into many smaller shapes.

Chipa Almidón is a popular Paraguayan street food that can be eaten alone or with a variety of main dishes. Another type of Chipa Asador involves roasting a piece of yuca dough on a stick over an open fire.
