Yam Balls
Words cannot adequately describe the taste of these yam balls. I do not like the taste and smell of raw blended pepper mix. So I improvised years ago and have since lightly cooked it. It actually makes a huge difference. Another advantage is that the cooking process soaks up the excess liquid from blending or pounding which will otherwise make the yam soggy and subsequently oily when fried.
Enjoy 😃.
