How to make the best Pounded Yam in Nigeria!

[@uniquelykc7755]

Just came back from Nigeria Lagos 2 weeks ago it was beautiful and humbling...I tasted some pretty awesome food there right off the streets...if you go there you will see why the environment looks this way but the food is delicious. If I eat at a restaurant in American I don't get to see the kitchen or the cook we just assume they are clean and the food was cooked properly....I learned a lot from Africa...the number one lesson I learned was GRATITUDE!

[@echetabuemeka4087]

Karen C Are you black American or Nigerian American? Just asking.

[@bartjanmusic]

[@elkeahlers7929]

Your comment is offensive as fuck but yeah i can already hear the white blaming for all shit,its all our fault blabla. No,your race is just not the same as ours.

[@KoKoTheSagittarius]

[@sankofax8082]

I remember peeling yam for my mum back then, the juice from the yam, itches the skin if it touches you. the guy peeling the yam, his skin must have gotten used to the itching.

[@sankofax8082]

he must also have good cardio and core+upper body strength. if he hammer any guy for street ehn.... haha...

[@roselienvandelisle2021]

SANKOFA X 😂😂

[@ndidionwuzulu1197]

Hahahaha too much ooo, I hate it but I love eating yam, I love Nigeria

[@rakiyayakubu4768]

I had the same experience the fisrt few times I peeled yam and so my mum advised me to rub fresh palm oil on my hands and arm whenever they itched from peeling yams. They have stopped itching since then. Hope this helps.

[@calmandfree]

Me too 😁😂 but I got used to it, now when I see my younger cousins itching their hands because they peeled yam I will just laugh and tell them to go and bathe

[@cjcj955]

I love how you report and I wish I can eat that pounded yam-not the rubbish we eat here in western world-they mix terrible stuffs inside and after eating you see your stomach growing like a pregnant man-only God will help us.

[@MakaveliThaDon444]

[@dboi4952]

You can’t get real food in western world only play food. You eat a little and you get fat, in Nigeria you eat a lot and still stay slim

[@dnae760]

It's truth to what u said ooo. Here in California, the food is the worst ever. So many pregnant men here ooo. Hahahaha

[@Wigsbyvb]

Hi you can actually make pounded yam with yam and mixer or a food processor... it turns out the same

[@Lady_Tee15]

🤣😂

[@mbighachristynjang3275]

I just love how clean it's been from beginning to end of preparation. Yummy food

[@mynameiskhan6757]

Really luv pounded yam. Benue state yam that i ate a lot and their pounded yam and egusi soup are really delicious too.

[@MrTaiyeabimbola]

My nan made this for me in ekiti 20 years ago, the good old days 😍😍

[@valeryhutchins7908]

Now I'll have to go all the way the way to Nigeria to taste authentic pounded yam, that's processed by hand. Guess I better start saving my coins for the trip!

[@lutfanrosyidi8749]

U ask somebody to eat with you but you keeps the best part for yourself, and u said "i have blessed people this morning".

[@charlotteriddle7303]

We have something like this in the USA called mashed or whipped potatoes. We use white potatoes that are not sweet like yams, it's mashed nd mixed with some butter and cream and salt and pepper. Very traditional American food. :)

For some reason, this street food looks much better than the McDonalds on Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

[@oloipala8590]

Terrific show. In Kenya we call this hussler life. It is popular.

[@BattaBox]

🤡

[@kay6257]

excellent and outstanding documentary, it makes me really appreciate being an African, i wish someone could design a machine that could peel those yams and pound them at an industrial scale, that would save these hard working people so much time and energy and it will also make the preparatory process more hygienic.

[@bigchiefbolz]

food processor can be used if the quantity u are making is not much and there are yam pounders (the machine)that what we call it)but it is so costly most of the small scale businesses can't afford it and some over-pampered people especially the men complain when it is used,because they prefer it been made in the mortar and pestle.

[@deaafn814]

in the 70's National Yam Pounding machine existed. I think it was sold in Leventis. My mom has one from the 70's. However now folks use the food processor. There is nothing unhygienic about pounding yam in a mortar and pestle.

This is not fufu this is pounded yam in Nigeria our fufu is made from casava and we Yoruba dont pound our fufu but I think igbo pound their fufu.

[@breezenking]

Warri pikin, nice documentary on pounded yam. But there’s new technology in town like a blender or a grinder to spin it around and it will turned out just like regular pounded yam.

[@funmilayoaina2658]

But it's not the same as the one pounded in a mortar and pestle

[@tomatopaste1936]

We know about yam pounding machine 🙄but hand pounded is more better

With the amount of hard effort that guy put into making that yam, I bet you that same food would cost not less than 20usd in a flashy restaurant overseas.

[@4cubed22]

Omg what a hardworking guy please don't hurt yourself isn't it better you buy a Cuisinart blender it gets the job done faster and well though it's on a pricey side like 300 dollars from Macy's or Bloomingdale's but our sis in Spain Aunty Flo from All Nigerian recipes used it and it came out perfect. I'm not a big fan of pounded yam though I'm a garri girl.....

I still can't tell the deference between yam and cassava... I like your video from Australia

[@happychild530]

You can't blame the seller. The cost of freight from Nigeria to USA is one of the many reasons. Also, cooking Nigeria food is not child's play. It's time demanding. If you spend two hours cooking egusi soup, you will need to factor cost of ingredients and labour time to arrive at that price.Just like you get a plumber to fix 5 minutes job and you are asked to pay $40 or more. Caterers are artisan too.

[@anonymoustube1]

wow. thats a lot of wrk. how do people make this at home nd in restaurants nd stuff? do they use a powder

[@TM686K]

They use yam flour which is unfortunately not as nutritious as freshly made pounded yam. I always opt relatives to buy frozen yams and pound or blend it instead of using the dried flour as the majority of the minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients are water soluble and are removed in the drying process.

[@BattaBox]

You pound the yam, and there’s no flour for this
