Authentic OJOJO is made with Water yam, but for this recipe,I used sweet potatoes and it's amazing (if I can say so myself. lol). You can eat Ojojo with pretty much anything you eat Akara with, it can also be enjoyed on it's own as a snack. Enjoy!
Ingredient
1 medium water yam tuber ( or 4 X-large size sweet potatoes)
1 medium size onion (chopped)
Handful Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Salt and dried pepper to taste
1/2 cup flour
2 large eggs
oil for frying

@Kitkat.... you are welcome. Cilantro is a flavorful herb with a very aromatic smell and taste. It gives a very fresh flavor to food.
