Fried yam balls

Directions

1. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil.

2. Peel the yams and cut into pieces.

3. Add to the pan and cook for about 30 minutes, or until tender.

4. Drain the yam, turn into a bowl and mash until smooth.

5. Mix in the onion, tomato, chilli and minced herbs.

6. Season to taste then add the beaten work and quickly work into the yam mixture to give a paste (this will be quite sticky).

7. Form the dough into medium-sized balls, either with your hands or with spoons, then roll in flour.

8. Heat oil to a depth of 1cm in a wok or deep frying pan.

9. When hot, add the yam balls and fry until golden brown and cooked through.

10. Serve as a side dish to a stew
