The toppings

Have added all the above and allowed to steam.

1. Check the yam and ensure it is done and cooked.

It is very important to be sure because, once the contents in the fish pot is added to the yam, it will not stay long before the food is brought down from the cooker. Also, the fish is first steamed in a separate pot, to ensure that, it does not scatter and then you will not see any big lump of the fish.

1. Once you are satisfied that the yam is done, pour the fish with its water into the pot containing the yam while still on fire.

My children really loved the food as their breakfast and asked for more finishing the plate given to them. It was simply delicious.

Why did I add scent leaf to this food?

Scent leaf is a very important leaf in our delicacies because of its health benefits. It is very rich in Calcium, phosphorous, Vitamins A,k and C. It hs been verified that it lowers blood pressure, kills many m8cro organisms that are causes for some disease we suffer from. Some people also use its mixture for the treatment of mental illness.
