Yam pottage also called yam porridge, yam soup, Asaro, Ebe and many other names is a yam meal that is easy to cook and delicious.

There are different ways of cooking this dish and I've tried most but personally I prefer this than the one pot method.

If you're not a fan of yam pottage try this recipe and you won't regret it.

7) When the yam is a bit soft but not too soft, drain the water leaving just about 1-2cups of water left in it.

8) Add the prepared sauce to the yam, add the grounded crayfish, the 1 remaining maggi cube, taste for salt and if need be add salt to taste and leave to cook for 5minutes.

  • I normally reserve 1-2 cooking spoons of the sauce to garnish the yam pottage when served.

    Asaro elemi meje, sumptous!!!. When making mine i add sweet potato or plantain to it. Have you tried making it with vegetable oil?, suprisingly it tastes as good if not better. Cheers.
