When the yam is soft, put it in the blender (in bits) and blend till you achieve a stretchy ball shaped solid.
There you go! so easy and stress-free.
Serve with any soup of your choice and enjoy.Use a hand mixer
So, if you do not have a blender or food processor at home, just make use of your hand mixer.
Like using a blender, boil the yam till it's soft. Put it into the mixing bowl. With the hand mixer, crush the yam until it becomes smooth, stretchy and lump free.Use a pounded yam flour
