Hello everyone 💞 ♨️,
Today, I go with this African Indigenous Delicious Delicacy with combination of three great green Vegetables with dried fish to spice it up. What really happen is this, no matter how you feel, no matter your health condition, no matter how you were brought up by your parents, you still need some individual moral knowledge of everything in life. I have said this so many times that when you are in any position to learn, you need to put all your effort in it to make everything a better success and to end up your story in Praise. I learnt to be myself very long time ago before my Dad died , that was before 2009. But when I got to know that life is all about Creativity and gaining more knowledge when you have the advantage. So I took every time I had to learn from my Late Dad because he was a big Chef. When I say, Chef I mean a really good cook.
So, I will like everyone of you to get seated and have a hot coffee better still hot tea and take this #Foodporn Tutorial on how to make an African Indigenous Delicious food, White Pounded Yam. Few hours ago, when I was still on discord channel doing some great discussion and chat with some friends outside Nigeria, they were like is there anything like White Pounded Yam? I told them , Yes we have so many tuber series which can turn into pounded yam such as Cassava , Cocoyam , Potatoes , Coco Ghana , Yellow Yam , White Yam all this tuber classes can be made into Pounded Yam. Let me Shock you guys , do you know you can as well Pound Plantain? In Africa, most especially in Nigeria all this food series can be perfectly made into Pounded form. I will try to make some cool stuff about it with Original Post , I promise ✍️ with cool photographs but today, I will be taking us through this real quick.
How To Make White Pounded Yam
In this case , you need somethings first before you even think of going through the stress of pounding the Yam. You need some necessary items for it. Such as
- White Yam
- Mortal and Pestle
- Knife
- Water
- Washing Bowl
- Pot
- Heat Source
- Nylon
- Fork
- Cooler ( Cooling device)
Let Get Started....!!!!
Step 1.
Here is what is expected of you whenever you want to deal with Stony yam. This is because this particular White Yam has alot of small stones. So, you need to wash very well.
Step 2.
Washing of the White Yam tuber is very essential and necessary. You don't doubt small stones.
Step 3.
Wash your Knife thoroughly to avoid stones.
Step 4.
Cutting the White Yam into Small pieces With required shape and size. When you want to meet the standard for pounded Yam, you need to be considerate of everything you do. Such as Cutting the Yam into the same shape and size to make the cooking of the White Yam evenly done.
Step 5.
We have the Cutting and Peeling of the White Yam and also you need to wash it thoroughly to enjoy your meal at the end of the food preparation.
Step 6.
Proper Washing two different big bowls to ensure no stones at all.
Step 7.
I Added Water to the Already peeled White yam inside the Pot.
Step 8.
After I added water in required amount, I then I covered it and I left it for 45mintues on the fire or gas cooker.
Step 9.
In this case, after which you might have wash your peeled yam and carefully arrange them inside the Pot and added your water.. You need to do some extra Preparation ahead for the Yam before it is done finally. This Preparation is called post Preparation for Pounding. Yes, most of all may not know but now you know. You bring out your Mortal and Pestle and wash them thoroughly with either soap or just rinse with Much water. That's what I did here .
Step 10.
In Step 10, what I did here is what people called Food testing. Hahaha. While your white yam is on the gas cooker for 30 minutes, you have to double check your White Yam so as not to over done . Over done Yam can not be used to Make Pounded Yam at all. It will lose it taste, texture and structure. You can use either hand fork or spoon. But I prefer fork.
Step 11.
In my step 11, the Yam is done. And it really ready for action. I have to bring the White Yam on the floor for easy access. Pounding Next. After this has been done, I have to use this same hand fork to dish out the White yam inside the Mortal systematically.
Step 12.
In life everything has it own Procedure, so in achieving your aim here you need to Follow this simple logic. You have to pound the White yam alternating inside the Mortal. How? When you pound one side of the Mortal, you alternate to the other side as well.
Step 13.
Step 14.
In step 14, I added hot water to the White Pounded Yam. Why? It is because I want to use the hot water to minimize the thickness of the White Pounded Yam and to suit my taste before eating.
Step 15.
You have to mix the Yam paste thoroughly to prevent spoilage from the beginning. As soon as it is fully mixed , it will begin to form a big earth ball meaning it done. But to your taste, you can still add a little bit of water more to thin it down.
Step 16.
What next? You have to rap it as soon as possible this is because the more atmosphere it attract the more thicker it becomes. That's the theory behind it.
Step 17.
After going the all this process and steps, I bet you , you will be 98% done with White Pounded Yam making. It does not waste time much but you have to follow it accordingly. After you have use your white Nylon to rap it up, it is now done to eat.
Guess What?
You can use any kind of soup to consume this particular African Indigenous Delicious Delicacy such as draw soup of green Vegetables. It goes well with any soup.
It is great to consume this kind of food because it gives more energy than any other food be it rice or other stachy foodstuffs. When you match it with a very protein soup it is called Great food combination. It will attract more vitamins, proteins, little fat and oils , zinc Carbonhydrate source of food.
This food took me 1hr 30minutes.
See you next time!
