Karunaikezhangu Masiyal

Ingredients:

• Yam (Karunaikezhangu) - 1/2 lb

• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

• Green Chillies - 2 or 3 (sliced half way through)

• Onions - 1 medium (diced)

• Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp

• Oil - 1 tbsp

• Salt - to taste

**Method: ** Peel the outer skin of the yam and slice them into 1/4x 1/4 x 1 inch pieces.

In a pan, heat the oil, splutter mustard seeds. Then add the onions and saute for a few minutes. To this add the chopped yam along with turmeric, green chillies and salt. Add 1 cup of water and allow the yam to cook until done (until the yam is soft and the mixture has a gravy like consistency)

Alternatively, can pressure cook the yam pieces with a little salt and turmeric and add to the pan instead of adding them raw. Might save some stove time.
