VEGAN NIGERIAN POUNDED YAM
Ingredients
- 2 cups yam flour
- 4 cups water

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the yam flour and salt. Gradually add water while stirring continuously to form a smooth paste.
- Pour the mixture into a large pot and place it on the stove over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent lumps from forming.
