I remember my dad preparing this kind of dish for us years back. Though he's never prepared it with yam ,just soups. He will boost of the health benefits of palm fruits and why it's healthier and more sweet than the normal red oil.
I was influenced by those lovely stories and once in a while, anytime i have palm fruits, i used them to prepare local dishes and by so doing, keep his memory alive.
Let me quickly show you how i prepared this recipe.
Ingredients needed
- 1/2 tuber of a smaller sized yam.
- 4 pieces of fresh tomato
- a handful of palm fruits
- 1 sachet of curry spice
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 4 stems of scent leaf
How to prepare
To prepare this dish, i started by washing and boiling the palm fruits. I boiled it till tender and soft.
While the palm fruits were boiling, i peeled and sliced my yam into my desired sizes. Then i set it aside.
I also sliced my tomatoes, scent leaf and set them aside.
At this time, i checked my palm Fruits, and noticed that it's tender enough. Then i sieved out the excess water. Normally, you can add these to your food processor to extract the juice but in a situation you don't have a food processor, you will have to use your hands. I used my hands to squeeze my palm fruits until i was able to remove the flesh. Then i added some water and sieved out the juice.
Before squeezing my palm fruits, i boiled my yams with just water and salt .
After preparing my palm fruits juice, i noticed that the yam is tender and soft. I sieved out the remaining water and set it aside.
