Yam porridge is one of the widely known African delicacy especially among the igbos. Yam porridge is so palatable that it is made a compulsory food in most traditional ceremonies. So today, we are gonna be having a step-by-step procedure on how to prepare our favorite yam porridge. Let us start with the ingredients.

Ingredients

• Medium size yam(any size of your choice)

Procedures

• Peel the yam and wash it, chop the yam into bits, not too tiny nor large.

• Boil some water and add the chopped yam, allow it to boil for 10 minutes.

• In a frying pan, pour the sliced onion, garlic and stir for 2 minutes.

• You can now add your dry fish, prawns, the chopped fresh pepper, salt and seasoning cubes to taste, of course you can add other ingredients to improve your food quality but mind you, avoid too many spices, it is hazardous to the human body.

• It is now time to pour the already made sauce to the pot of boiled yam and stir properly. Be careful not to stir intensely to avoid turning the yam to a mash, leave it to boil for at least 12-20 minutes.

• You can now add the ugwu/scent leaves, allow to simmer for two minutes, the popular curry leaves could be used as well, they are all medicinal in nature and improves our meal aroma as well.
