How to make Yamarita and BBQ Sauce
BBQ Sauce
Mix all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a pot.
Cook on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring continuously.

Let it cool after cooking.

Peel the yam and cut into fries or any desired shape.
Boil the yam in water for 10 minutes, ensuring the water covers the yam.
Check with a fork to ensure the yam is boiled but not overcooked.
Drain the water from the yam.
Prepare the flour mixture by mixing flour and spices in a bowl.
In another bowl, mix eggs, bullion cube, and salt.
Dip the boiled yam into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture.
Fry the yam on medium heat for about 2.5 minutes on each side.
Serve with the BBQ sauce or any sauce of your choice.
