Welcome to Vivian's Cuisine: Cocoyam Balls

How To Prepare Cocoyam Balls

If your a regular visitor of my page, you will agree with me that I love trying out something new using the very regular recipes.

Today I tried using cocoyam to make balls out of them and it came really delicious and succulent.

Note :

There are two types of cocoyam you must be aware of, the one meant for soup thickner which usually itch when eaten and often comes in smaller tuber and the one meant for eating which comes in a much
bigger size tuber.

In fact it will be safer if you simply inquire from the local market sellers which is which before purchasing, they will be in the best way position to better guide you while shopping.
