Instructions
Grate the yam with the small side of a grater or use a blender. Stir some salt into the yam to season and set aside.
Chop the meats into bite sizes and place in a pot. Season with the dry pepper, 1 tbsp. of the grounded crayfish, salt, and a bouillon if you want. Pour water to the level of the meats and cook until tender. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meats from the pot, add some more water if needed; along with the oil and habanero peppers. boil for 2-3 minutes; then using a tbsp. or your hand, add the grated yam into the boiling water in dollops. Once you add the yam, each dollop should float to the top(do not stir). Reduce the heat and let the yam cook for about 5 minutes; then add the meats, dry fish and the remaining crayfish(do not stir). Cook for another 5 minutes and set aside
