Pounded yam is one of the most loved fufu meals in Nigeria, it can be paired with any kind of soup especially vegetable and egusi soup.

I made this soft and pliable pounded yam with fresh yam today. In this method, you don’t need to cook or pound the yam. I found out it is very easy to make this and even if you don’t have a mortar at home, you can still enjoy your pounded yam swallow. You should also watch the video above on how to prepare this yam poundo practically.

You Need:

Pure White yam for this yam swallow.

Steps on How to Make Pounded Yam with Raw Yam

1. Cut yam into rings and peel off the brown skin, cut the yam into smaller sizes and rinse with water to get rid of sand.
2. Bring the yam into a blender and add a little water to help the blender spin appropriately.
3. Pulse the blender for few minutes or until the yam is completely blended and appears smooth and almost runny.
4. Bring the blended yam into a stainless steel pot and place it on medium heat to get heated.
5. Use a wooden spatula to stir the yam paste for 1 minute, you will begin to notice the yam starting to come together.
6. Keep stirring until the yam starts to cook, when this has come together, reduce the heat and scrape the sides and bring the paste to the
middle. Sprinkle a little water and steam cook this on low flame for 5 minutes and stir intermittently.
7. Once the yam has cooked, it will look soft and pliable; take it off it and scoop into nylon bags to stay warm until you are ready to serve.
8. Pounded yam is ready, you can serve with egusi soup or any soup of your choice.

Wonderful!

Another method is using a powerful cake mixer after cooking and chopping the yam into pieces.

dokie:


Kindly expantiate.

NessaBoo:
Wooow!! Looks easy enough... I'm definitely gonna try this weekend!

It sure has to be better than that poundo flour crap!

Proffdada:
Nice try but it will still be lumpy or granular which defeats the purpose of "pounded"

enemmo:


I don't think it will have lumps.
I blend boiled yam whenever I'm making nsala/white soup, and it doesn't have lumps

Oblongata:
If it is not pounded yam, it can never be like pounded yam!

asiwaju:
Nonsense.We used it and it was nothing,absolutely nothing.Nothing like traditional mortals,even the powder one(Poundo Yam)is also nonsense.

Cook the yam to normal softness for pounded yam, then cut into smaller chunks.

If you have a powerful cake mixer like "Grundig', just pour the yam into the bow and mix.

It will mix it like pounding.

Greenhero:

numen:
I tried this tonight and it turned out well. Thanks for the tip.

sonnie10:
I will like to cook the yam first before blending and then turning/ stirring in the pot

SEONaijaExpert:

You tried providing an alternative but this is semovita not pounded yam. My opinion!
