How To Prepare Ojojo 

Ojojo with akara

It's Rubynnia again and this time around, I want to show you how I prepared my Ojojo.
Ojojo is made from grated water yam. Water yam is ideal for this 
delicacy because it draws after being grated unlike other yam species.
So I will explain in details, one step at a time.
STEP 1: PEELING; GRATING TIME
I cut yam tuber into desired slices, peel the skin off and grate. For those who don't like grating, I suggest you cut the yam slices into tiny pieces and blend with a blender to save you the stress of grating.
STEP 2: CONDIMENTS ADDITION
I added chopped pepper and onions to spice my ojojo, not forgetting salt to taste.
STEP 3: FRYING
For frying ojojo, you can either use your hand or spoon depending on your preference. I prefer using my hand since the pureed yam is sticky like dough for making puff puff.
STEP 4: ADJUSTMENT & TURNING
Once the balls turn light yellow, do turn it over so the other side can cook.
STEP 5: SCOOPING, COOLING & DRAINING
Remove the balls from oil when it's done. Ojojo soaks a lot of oil, so I would advise you press the balls to drain the excess oil, then leave to cool.
STEP 6: READY TO EAT!
Ojojo can be eaten alone as snack, with garri(yam flakes), pap or with any food of your choice
