INGREDIENTS
Salt
Knorr Cube
Water Yam
Ground Crayfish
Chopped Onions
Chopped Fresh Pepper
RECIPE
- Cut Water yam in chunks, this makes it easier for you to grate
- Peel water yam, rinse and grate into a bowl. This is the hard part and I don’t like grating wateryam because it is slimy. You have to be careful not to cut yourself.
- Chop fresh pepper (ata rodo) chop red onions in the tiniest bit possible.
- Add chopped pepper, onions, ground crayfish, knorr and salt to the wateryam , then mix thoroughly.
- Heat a pan of oil, if you have a deep fryer this is good too.
- Start adding lumps of wateryam to the hot oil (if the oil is hot enough the balls of wateryam should float)
- Wait till its golden, then flip the ball of wateryam.
- Drain the oil and serve hot!
