PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE POUNDED YAM

Its for evening food and the pounded yam must be eating as hot as it is when prepared. It cant be put inside warmer if not it will spoil. This is why it was prepared late and my phone was down i was unable to take initial preparation pictures but i will explain.

  • To prepare the pounded yam, the yam is peeled rinsed and boiled till its soft.
  • The yam is them put inside the mortal and pounded with a pestle till its fulling pounded.
