Wash and peel cassava root, then grate. Add egg, salt, and vegetable  
oil. Mix thoroughly. The batter will be soft and somewhat coarse. Shape  
into the size of a biscuit. Bake 450ºF for 20 minutes.  
Peel and chop the onion. Mix together the grated cassava, onion and  
herb. Lightly beat the egg. Add to the cassava mixture and mix well to form  
a smooth mixture. Form mixture into small balls. Lightly fry the cassava  
balls in cooking oil until golden brown.
