Pounded yam or Iyán (Yoruba) is a Nigerian food native to the Yoruba, Igbo, Ebira and Tiv ethnic groups. It is a traditional food. It is prepared by pounding boiled yam with a mortar and pestle. Pounded yam is similar to mashed potatoes but heavier. It is a smooth and tasty delicacy traditionally eaten with the hands. Iyán is consumed in Ondo State, Ijesha, Edo, Benue and Ekiti in Nigeria, among others. It can be served with egusi, soup, jute leaves soup (ewedu), stewed spinach (efo riro) or okra soup.
