Ojojo

Water yam is not a commonly eat variety of yam as you can only use it for some special dishes. The viscosity of the raw yam texture makes it suitable for dishes like Ekpang Nkukwo( cocyam/ water yam pottage) Ebiripo or Ayan Ekpang, both of them similar steamed grated water yam mixed with cocoyam.

Ojojo which is popular amongst the Ijebu and Kwara  people is making an interesting appearance at ‘owambe’ parties. Ojojo is basically water yam fritters. The addition of other few ingredients makes it a must have small chops item at those parties
