Ingredients:

1 white yam

Method:

Peel and slice the yam into pieces about 5mm thick. Wash well then place in a bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover the yam. Set aside until the water is completely cold then drain the yam and dry in a cloth.

Scatter in a single layer on a tray then set in the sun to dry completely. Once the yam pieces are completely dry either pound in a mortar or grind in a coffee grinder until powdered. Sift through a fine-meshed sieve and store in an air-tight container.
