Wash and put diced yam in a pot and add water

Add salt and the seasoning cubes to it from the start so it has time to penetrate into the yam

Cover and allow to cook for 10minutes

Add the pepper and onions and continue cooking

20-25minutes into the cooking add the panla fish and palm oil with the pounded prawns and crayfish

When the yam is almost tender, use your spoon or wooden spatula to press 1-2 pieces of the soft yam. This gives the pottage a thick, smooth and color rich look without oil floating in your pottage

Then sprinkle in the spring onion stem

Cook for 1-2 minutes more and stir to make sure it’s thick and well seasoned and set down
