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.
