3. Sasa

Sasa is usually prepared with roasted cocoyam that is mashed and spiced with pepper, tomato and onions with palm oil poured on it.

4. Anpokye

This is believed to be medicinal. it is simply cooked cocoyam but in this case, the bark of the cocoyam is not peeled off. They are all cooked together and served with any form of stew or sauce.

5. Fomfom

This is very common among the people of the Central, Western and Ashanti Regions. Just imagine how Banku is prepared but with a little twist.

In the case of Fomfom, after the initial stirring, it is pounded again and later shaped and stored in the corn husk. It is then cooked again like how kenkey is prepared.
