Peel the yam and wash it, cut into smaller pieces to help your blender, add little water and blend into a nice smooth paste, don't add too much water.

Boil some little amount of water in a pot and pour the yam paste, then sprinkle salt and oil, stir continuously to avoid lumps until its comes together like a dough.

Now pour little warm water over the fufu and cover the pot, let it simmer for 5mins, stir it carefully and quickly until smooth, then off the heat.

Use your spoon to scoop some to a nylon and wrap it.

Serve warm, can be eaten with any soup.
And mind you the texture is far from the pounded yam
