Back in the day as a growing child, i had this friend who’s mum would always make hot ikokore whenever it was wateryam season. The lumpy nature of the porridge could never go unnoticed and the distinct mouthwatering aroma would always invite us in to “Play” once we got close to their house during such times. While reminiscing on some of the mouth watering dishes i enjoyed during the good old days, i had to call Dotun my childhood bestie for this recipe. So if you’re thinking of what to prepare with water yam why not try making ikokore. Ikokore is a meal native to the Ijebu people from the southwestern part of Nigeria. Just like Ojojo , it’s made with water yam and also very similar to ekpang nkukwo. The final texture of this dish is similar to a pudding or porridge. Just one taste and you’re bound to get hooked. Some people add peppered stew to it while serving, others serve it plain but it’s all a matter of choice.
• 2 tbsp. Fresh pepper (shombo “chili” +
Ata rodo “Red scotch bonnet pepper“) – ground

Hi Motaiye, Using normal yam wouldn't give it the exact taste and flavor. Water yam has a slimy watery texture unlike normal yam.
Always a nice meal
