Senaikizhangu roast

INGREDIENTS:

Yam - 1/2 kg.
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp.
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp.
Urad dhal - 1 tsp.
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp.
Salt - as per taste
Oil - 1 ladle

METHOD:

Chop the hard skin of yam. Wash it without any mud and pat it dry with a cloth. Cut yam into small cubes.(Yam, when touched with water irritates the hand. So pat it dry with a towel and then cut it.)

Take water in a vessel, add the cubed yam, salt and turmeric powder and allow it to boil just for 5 minutes. Doing like this will get rid of dust and dirt. Drain it completely without any water and keep it aside.

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds. When it splutters, add urad dhal and saute till golden brown. Now add the yam, chilli powder and mix well. Fry till golden brown and crispy.
