Authentic OJOJO is made with Water yam, but for this recipe,I used sweet potatoes and it’s amazing (if I can say so myself. lol). You can eat Ojojo with pretty much anything you eat Akara with, it can also be enjoyed on it’s own as a snack. Enjoy!
Ingredient
1 medium water yam tuber ( or 4 X-large size sweet potatoes)
1 medium size onion (chopped)
Handful Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Salt and dried pepper to taste
1/2 cup flour
2 large eggs
oil for frying
Direction
Cut and clean yam tuber, grate using a hand held grater
Remove any excess water from the grated yam by (squeezing out excess fluid)
Add in egg, salt, onion,cilantro, pepper and flour to the grated yam
Combine all ingredients
Set oil on medium heat, once the oil is hot enough, add in the yam paste bits at a time.
Fry on each side for 3 mins or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
