Critical Success Points

  • Grinding egusi dry before adding liquid ensures a smooth paste.
  • Simmering the egusi paste on low heat for 15‑20 minutes without excessive stirring creates the desired lumpiness.
  • Processing the boiled yam in short bursts prevents the food processor motor from overheating.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a lid nearby and avoid overcrowding the pot.
  • When blending hot liquids, vent the blender lid slightly to prevent pressure buildup.
  • Use oven mitts when handling the hot pot and food processor bowl.
