Share a delicacy you prepared

Today I'm going to prepare Ottor (water yam porridge). Just follow me as I show you the steps by steps ways of preparing it.

Let me start with the ingredients and the steps by step process will follow.

• Water yam

• Periwinkle

• Pepper

• Salt

• Maggi

• Bonga fish

• Crayfish

That's just the few ingredients needed to be used in preparing Ottor (Wateryam Porridge).

^{The ingredients}

^{Wateryam after peeling}

I peel the Wateryam, then I l washed it very well then I used manual grater to grate it.

^{After grating it}

^{Washed Wateryam and grater}

After grating it, I set it aside, then I put water into a pot and place on fire to boil. The water quantity depends on how plenty your wateryam is.

^{Put of water on fire}

As the water was boiling on the fire, I now put the ingredients one after the other, Maggi, salt, pepper, crayfish.

^{Putting the ingredients}

The mixture of the ingredients was boiling so well on the fire, so I now put the periwinkle and stir it with spatula.

^{Putting the periwinkle}

After putting the periwinkle and stirring it well, then I put the water yam small small into the pot, after putting it all, I covered the pot without using spoon to turn it.

^{Putting the Wateryam small small}

I allowed it to boil for about 10-15minutes before I used spatula and turned it together by then it has not sticks together on each other.

^{Using spatula to turn it}

After turning it together I allowed it to steamer for a minute then I turn of the gas, the food is ready.

^{My food is ready}

What was your greatest challenge being a chef on that day?

The only challenge I was supposed to have had was grating the Wateryam with a manual grater, that is if the Wateryam was much but I thank God it was small water yam so the process did not take time, if not the grater would have wounded me at the end.

How did you overcome the challenges?

Like I said earlier that the water yam was not plenty to grate with the manual grater, it was a little cooking and I didn't really encounter that much challenge.

Will you quit being a chef and depend on a restaurant?

I don't even think there's any restaurants that cook this type of my meal and sell, because of how it looks and the process involve in doing it.

I have never ordered food from the restaurant and no matter how tedious it is for me to prepare my food I will surely do it with gladness knowing fully well that I will eat my food and enjoy it at the end. Besides, cooking has become part of my life as there's no single that passes without I putting a pot on fire to cook. Very soon I will open a restaurant 🤣.
