I agree the fresh yam tastes much better than the yam flour but never got the hang of making the pounded yam... Yet I never thought to try making it in the food processor either, until now.

Thanks for leaving a comment....Hello Marie-Claude,<br /><br />Thanks for leaving a comment. Egusi soup shouldn't have a bitter taste. It is possible that the lack of freshness could have caused the bitterness. Freshly ground egusi will always give a superior taste. The palm oil could also be an issue - be sure that it is unrefined and from a reputable source. Hope that helps!Tomi Makanjuolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964625302031504166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-967283675374251357.post-21650117194220909482014-11-12T13:18:17.992+00:002014-11-12T13:18:17.992+00:00Hello Tomi,

Any input would be appreciated :) Thanks!

Thank you for making it so clear. The illustration on the pack showed neatly shaped little white cakes, but there was no way I could make those from this thickish gloop that I had made. Your intructions and photo make it so clear; it's just served like mashed potatoes or skirlie on the plate, and it's lightly salted too.<br />The egusi soup sounds good; I might try that as well.<br />Thank you :-)<br />MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-967283675374251357.post-61167956708216502972013-05-29T18:53:17.027+01:002013-05-29T18:53:17.027+01:00Hi there,

Then pass through a sieve (retaining the liquid and discarding/using the cooked veg for something else).<br /> <br />I plan to write a detailed post on home-made vegetable stock at some point so do keep an eye out for that. Hope that helps :)Tomi Makanjuolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964625302031504166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-967283675374251357.post-61488853600182112922013-05-29T11:55:17.828+01:002013-05-29T11:55:17.828+01:00how do you make the vegetable stock?how do you make the vegetable stock?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
