Yams are boring tubers that are developed in many nations in Africa, South America, Caribbean, South Pacific and Asia-with every nation have it's own assortment

They are not practically identical to the sweet yams developed in North America. – which are gentler (when cooked) and excessively sweet. These African yams are firm and delicate, when cooked.
There are distinctive types of yams in Africa some white, some yellow, and in specific parts of West Africa you have sweet yams (which are firm in surface).

In this formula, yams are peeled, cut into huge pieces and after that cooked in tomatoes, onions, and chicken until delicate. You can utilize boneless chicken thighs or bone in. Either works fine and dandy.
A more customary method for making this is to incorporate smoked/dried fish. Dried Fish is in some cases hard to get a hold of and is expensive too , that is whether you live abroad . An awesome substitute is smoked turkey
After the yams are delicate , you can either crush it, to make porridge otherwise called Asaro in Nigeria or leave as may be. I favor pieces of yams.

Yam Porridge(Potash, Asaro)

The vast majority add severe leaves to the porridge yams for its nourishing worth and taste . An awesome substitute would be any dull verdant greens.
