Then you don't go out often and maybe you're not a Yoruba.

It's an Ekiti (Ikere) delicacy. Are you from Ekiti?

Add egg and milk and you won't regret it

Ojojo, which is also called “water yam fritters or water yam akara”, is a common street food in Nigeria, you get to find this recipe a lot in Lagos and other Yoruba states. If you have never eaten any water yam recipes before, it will be nice to start with Ojojo.
These crunchy yam fritters are indeed tasty and easy to make in the comfort of your home; all you need is your fresh water yam and very few veggies and seasonings. I love to have Ojojo with custard, but you can still pair it with pap or oatmeal or enjoy ojojo just the way it is like your regular snacks.
Follow the steps below and also watch the video above to see how to make Nigerian Ojojo.


Ojojo Ingredients

1. 1 medium sized water yam
2. 1 scotch bonnet pepper, chopped
3. 1 medium onion, chopped
4. 1 stick of spring onion, chopped
5. 1 teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning
6. Salt to taste
7. Enough oil for frying

Steps on How to Prepare Ojojo

1. Peel off the water yam skin using a knife, cut into chunks and rinse in water.
2. Use hand held grater with tiny holes to grate the yam chunks into a bowl.
3. Season the water yam paste with all-purpose seasoning, onions, spring onions, pepper and salt.
4. Using your hand, mix the yam paste thoroughly until all the seasonings and the veggies are incorporated.
5. On a medium- high heat, heat up oil in a pan deep enough to fry all the water yam paste.
6. Once the oil is heated, use your fingers to scoop the water yam paste forming a ball with the paste and gently drop in the hot oil.
7. Repeat this process multiple times and don’t over crowd the pan, fry each side of water yam balls for 3 minutes, and then use a slotted
spoon to flip the balls to the next side to fry as well.
8. Once you notice the edges turning slightly brown and the balls looks crisp on the outside, it means they are fried. Remove the water yam
from the oil and drain on paper towels, repeat the same process with the remaining water yam paste until you are done with everything.
9. Ojojo is ready, serve hot with Custard or Akamu.

Add mackerel fish (Titus fish) or sardine, or egg or shrimp and your Ojojo will be transformed

This thing sweet die. Made from Ewura (Water yam)

It has a unique taste different from Akara.

Love it. I used to prepare it anytime I make Ikokore ...a yoruba delicacy made from grated water yam and made into a porridge. I use the left over fritters to make ojojo....so sweet. Thanks for the memories.

I have never come across this before.
