Cool, thanks for the recipe, I LOVE yam so i'm going to have to try it. but i got to find that white yam first

oh!! that meal is delicious. all my life in the west, i never tasted it until i went home to visit (East) and granny made it! it was sooooooo yummy

yeah if you can lay your hands on a good specie of water yam, then you are all set. without water yam, your ikokore won't come out well.

There is this water yam with wonderful scent (note that there are different kinds of water yam).

Nothing to add you posted the recipe exact way it's prepared.

Wonder if i can ever come across that water yam in ilu oyinbo sha.

check out magic's website for all the naija dishes u want .

yeah, its a really nice meal,

there's also a calabar version of the food, they called it Epanku kwu(pardon my spellling), the only difference is dat they mix theirs with cocoyam to make it thicker and wrap it with cocoyam leaves, it makes it so palatable and lovely,

we take it occassionally here in ma bunk and its always very nice, i know the ingredients and how 2make it but i've neva made it. . its the food of the ijebus and im one of 'em

Meeeeeeeeeeeen, I ain't heard that name since 2002 at Ago Iwoye during my youth service, dem say d thing dey sweet.

Too bad I did not get to taste it though. I hope you learn how to make am oh, cos Ijebu men dey love it and I know say this one wey you dey find recipe so, an Ijebusite is knocking on your daddy's door ( or is about to knock),

Please make sure it has enough "Orisirisi". Pieces of meat, fish, ponmo, crayfish , all these are what makes it very tasty. Lack of these and the food will not make sense to new "eaters".

Yum yum yum!

I don't know about blender, grater works fine,

That looks oh, so Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pictures are beautiful. I've eaten Ikokore before but its not my kind of thing, though it is a good food. I've never been a fan of yam be it porridge or plain boiled yams.

stillwater

Im beginning to worry. What the hell do you eat?

I mean I dont like pounded yam but to hate yam in general? It blows my mind.

Let me just say my tongue has a mind of its own . I eat pounded yams though, depending on the kind of soup but boiled yams and porridge it's a no no. I only try to eat them when there's no other choice and it has to be just one tiny slice.

Dislike it.
