Good day extinguished hivers

I peeled, washed, and cut the yam in small chunks and put on fire... Added sugar, salt, and a dash of nutmeg into the boiling yam

Once the yam is very tender I drained the water and allow to cool

While the yam is cooling I washed the veggies and diced them up

Washed the meat and minced it in a processor

Once the yam cool I started pounding it, some prefer to use food processor buh

I'm sure the remaining steps are illustrated in the pictures taken above so, let's quickly talk about the mistakes

  1. Too much butter made the yam balls too soft after frying it cos it was absorbing oil during frying (buh later hardened when it cooled down, yeah escaped throwing it out)

  2. Bcos I wanted a rich taste I added liquid milk into the yam mixture buh I learnt it's better to use powder bcos liquid added to the reason the yam ball was too soft

  3. Always deep fry yam balls to allow it to cook evenly and turn golden brown at the same time

I hope u learnt a thing or two from my post and won't make the mistakes I did with my recipee
