  4. Peel yam, sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch long pieces. Fry the pieces till they are soft and crispy then take them out of pan.

  6. Cut banana into  1/2 cm round pieces without peeling the banana. Remove the edges from the beans. Cut them into 1 inch long pieces and split them into halves.
