This is a local dish that is prepared for a mother who newly gave birth to help cleanse the womb and it also helps in the flow of the breas milk. @qurator have asked for something easy and quick in the #HiveTopChef competition so i have come with this local dish that it's recipe isn't stable. It can be twisted based on the choice of the new mother or her caregiver, it doesn't have a particular method. Note; that this dish isn't for anyone who is trying to conceive or at her early pregnancy.

Step one
Peel the yam, cut the uziza leaves with your hand or kitchen knife, pound the uziza and uda seeds together.
Step two
In the pot put the yam
Add the pounded seeds
Next to follow is the black pepper
My salt followed immediately
Poured in enough water that will cook it for thirty minutes when the yam will be done.
Just few minutes to bring it down i added the uziza leaves and allowed it for two minutes then bring it down.
This dish is usually plated in two different plates.
I have come with another recipe and thank you for visiting my blog once again.
