Elephant Yam (karunai kilangu) poriyal

From young I love the Karunai kilangu. There is 2 different types of Karunai Kilangu. The bigger one has better taste. But in Singapore I get only the 2nd type. 

 

When we talk my sister used to say at least u  getting that in US nothing is available so be happy about it :-). Sometime this will cause itchiness in the tongue if the Yam is fresh. So keep the Yam for few days before you do. Normally I add tamarind paste just in case. Rest of my family is not so found of this so I seldom do it. But whenever I am in India my mum does this without fail



Ingredients:


Karunai Kilangu / Yam Ordinary-250gm
Onion-2 Finely chopped
Tamarind-goose berry sized ball
Sambar Powder-1 teaspoon
Turmeric Powder-1/4 teaspoon
Mustard – 1/4 teaspoon

Urad Dhal-1 teaspoon
Salt-to taste
Oil-3 tablespoon

Curry leaves – 10


Method:


Boil karunai kilangu in water until a knife inserted goes smoothly.
Remove from water and allow it to cool.
Peel the skin and mash it with a masher.

Extract juice from soaked tamarind and add it to the mashed yam.


Add salt, turmeric and sambar powder to Yam Paste and marinate for 30 – 40 mins

Heat oil and splutter mustard. Add Urad Dhal and fry till it is brown. Add Curry Leaves and fry till 30 sec
