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.

Cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously until it thickens and becomes a stretchy dough-like consistency.

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to cook the yam flour thoroughly.

Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the pounded yam to a serving dish.

Serve the Nigerian Pounded Yam hot with your favorite Nigerian soup or stew.
