STEP 7: Add raw sliced yam to the pot. Combine sauce and yam. Add some water just enough to cover the slices. Cover pot with a tight lid to prevent steam from escaping, and cook on medium to low heat.
STEP 8: Check that yam is now tender, then add sliced ripe plantain and cover to cook for another 10 minutes.
STEP 9: Once it is done, mash some yam cubes and plantain slices to give a ‘gooey’ appearance.
