Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1

Cut the cocoyam into medium-sized chunks, and cook in a pot of water until tender. Drain the cocoyam.

2

Combine the cassava flour with ½ cup water to make a mouldable ball.

3

Add the cassava mixture to the cooked cocoyam in a mortar. Pound together until smooth.

Notes
  • Always use cocoyam heads to make a smooth swallow. The cassava flour serves to bind the cocoyam and make it mouldable.
