Now add vegetable oil to a saucepan and heat it up to medium. Verify that the heat is not set too high. Add the water and diced yam to the oil when it is slightly heated. You certainly don't want to start a fire in your kitchen, so use caution when doing this. As an alternative, turn off the stove or fire before adding the yam.

Fry till it’s well cooked. This should take 5-6 minutes. Leave to drain in a colander.

To make the sauce, In a wok or deep pan, add 1.5 cooking spoons of vegetable oil and heat up. Add the chopped onions to the hot oil and cook until they are translucent. Next, add the blended peppers, Thyme, curry powder, one Bouillon cube, and salt to taste. 10 to 12 minutes for frying To prevent burning, make sure to stir occasionally.

 

Add the chopped peppers after 10 to 13 minutes, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add the fried Yam next, followed by the fried Gizzard, and stir to mix. Give it two minutes to fry.

Add the fried plantain thereafter, and simmer for one minute. Avoid overcooking the plantains to prevent them from getting mushy..

 

Enjoy!
