Ojojo- Yam Fritters

Most people do not know what to do with water yam, majority of people definitely can not eat it by boiling it because the texture and taste is not really liked, so most of the time, we don't buy them in the market or even if we have them at home, we don't make use of it, and we eventually throw them away.

However, there are great use of water yam, and the Ojojo is a great food you can make with water yam.

Ojojo is a traditional Nigerian recipe for a cool  snack made with water yam mixed with chilli paste, onion and prawns that are deep fried until crisp before serving.
