Ayoola Poundo Yam Flour – Instant Pounded Yam, 2lb & 4lb

Poundo Yam

Instant pounded yam flour. Pounded yam in about four minutes instead of forty minutes with a mortar and a great deal of regret.

Ayoola is one of the established Nigerian brands, and this is the flour most households abroad have settled on.

How to make it

1. Boil water. Roughly two and a half cups per cup of flour, though check the pack.
2. Lower the heat and pour the flour in gradually while stirring hard with a wooden spoon.
3. Keep turning as it thickens. It comes together quickly.
4. Cover and let it steam for two minutes, then turn again until smooth and stretchy. This step is what separates good poundo from lumpy poundo.
5. Shape with a wet spoon and serve hot.

Poundo, amala or semo

Three different swallows that people mix up. Poundo is instant pounded yam, white and stretchy. Amala is dried yam flour, dark brown and softer. Semovita is wheat semolina, pale and smoother. Each goes with different soups and none substitutes for another.

What to serve with it

Egusi, ogbono, oha, bitterleaf, afang, okra. Anything with body.
