Karunaikezhangu Roast

Ingredients:

• Yam (Karunaikezhangu) - 1/2 lb

• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

• Chilli-coriander powder - 2 tsp

• Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp (optional)

• Oil - 3 tbsp

• Salt - to taste

**Method: ** Peel the outer skin of the yam and slice them into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and 2 inchx2inch pieces. Boil these in water along with a little turmeric powder and a pinch of salt until half done (or pressure cook them).

In a bowl, mix chilli-coriander powders, ginger garlic paste and required salt with a little water to make a paste (Please note that you have already put some salt during boiling, so add in just a little more). Dip the yam pieces in this mixture so they are coated well on all sides.

In a flat pan/tawa, heat oil and add in the pieces one by one (Side by side) as a single sheet of pieces. When golden brown and crisp on one side, turn over and cook the other side.? Repeat this for all the pieces.
