Nigerian yam is a good source of carbohydrate and fibre for growing children. Adding it to omelette with some other nutritious ingredients makes it a very filling finger food for toddlers.
Yam Omelette is quite simple to make and it can either be given as a finger food to your toddler, packed in their lunchbox or it can also be as a side to meals like jollof rice for bigger kids.
