Happy New Month Everyone!!!
How are y’all doing? hope great! I must say as i type this, i’m so excited. You know why??? Cos i can now ………Wait for it……….Wait for it……….Wait for it…………..Make pounded yam in a blender!!!!!! Yayyyy!!!!. Sounds unbelievable right?…..hehehehe!!!. Even as skeptical as i was while attempting it for the first time, my mum was staring at me like….”This babe wants to spoil my blender O!….someone’s soooo going to get me a new blender…..lolz!”. When i was finally done and i served up the pounded yam to her with okra soup,she stared at me in shock and even told me to make extra for my papa. No lumps, No koko….just pure, smooth pliable pounded yam. I want to say a big thank you to those who suggested i tried it out after my post on How to make pounded yam from scratch through comments and mails else i’d still be stuck in the stone age. And there i was pounding yam with all my strength….LMAO!!!. Abeg! make una follow me thank God for technology :D…..Lets go there!

What!!! Seriously? I am sooo trying this
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
waoh. I am seriously going to try this.
from the picture i can see lumps good experiment but mortar or poundo machine is better
A food processor or a nija blender is best for the job
Give it a try and you will become a believer.
lol! it sure is WOW!!! 😀
you wouldn't regret it toin. Do keep us posted 😉
you'd definitely be awed. Do let us know how it goes 🙂
Dobby, do you do this on commercial basis? Some of those vegetable na die!
Hi chick on a budget, you should really give it a try. it's worth it 😉

Sometimes, but not full time.
Thanks!
It dose not look smooth o.
Great, will contact you to get more details.
hi anon,
that's because the last pic wasn't smoothened with a wet swallow smoothener. Do check out the video above and let me know what you think 😉
Brilliant idea, rather than use yam flour (unsure of whats in the flour?????) I've always used (after boiling the yam) a potatoe masher and then wooden spoon to blend to a near smooth texture. YUMMY!
Potato masher? i've never used it before but it might be worth a try. Thanks for the contribution Anon 🙂
You are indeed a wonderful cook,i get inspired anytime i visit your blog.thumbs up,keep doing what you know how to do well,i love you.
Thanks Anon! Luv you too 🙂
Wooooow
Pounded Yam in blender? OMG! Some Naija Sistas are truly creative. You are one genius, Dobby. My readers will surely like this.
It may not be like the real thing but when you are abroad with no mortar and pestle, and no choice but poundo (yam powder), fresh yam "pounded" (lol) in blender could taste like heaven.
Thanks for this post Adaobi.
lol!
it's actually the real thing….no lumps…no need to add water. you're welcome sisirayo 🙂
Hello Dobbys, nne mehn, i have stumbled upon gold, welldone girl. Biko, what type of blender and food processor do you use? God bless you real good.
Currently, i use a Russell hobs mini food processor. it's quite stronger than most blenders i've used in the past.
"Nne mehn". Very funny. Reminds me of "Living in Bondage" home video.
Dobby,so there s a way out of mortar and pestle! Just watched the video and know it s real. Great job girl!!!
Yes there is 😉
