Yam Sticks in Batter with Sweet Chili Prawn Sauce

I remember the first time I made this dish; it had people ordering for more. It doesn’t really sell cheap and it’s not that cheap making it at home but trust me, every bite is worth it. A kilo of Prawns sells for between N2000 and N3000. Other things in the prawn sauce are yellow green and red bell (tatashe) pepper, ginger, onions and ketchup. It is really easy to make. Stir fry garlic and chopped onions. Throw in the prawns and stir fry on very low heat. Add the yellow, green and red pepper followed by some seasoning. Keep stirring and lastly, add ketchup and half a spoon of sugar. Turn off the flame and give it a good stir.

For the yam sticks, cut the yam into sticks and parboil. The yam sticks are then drenched in eggs and coated with a mixture of flour and season and then deep fried.
