Thanks for the recipe. Tried it and it come out nice but it tasted bitter. Please what should. Be the cause
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback.
ReplyDeleteIt would come out bitter for the following reasons...The yam itself is bitter, you didn't use enough sugar, perhaps the yam needed a little time to absorb the sugar, also yam parts nearer to the head can be a little bitter.
You could also serve with a spicy sauce. Better luck next time.
