Yam Curry/Sennai Kizhangu Kuzhambhu/Kulambhu
OMG!!The last 2 weeks have been crazy for me. At work and at home, was crazy, with appraisals, more work, Diwali preparation, Guests at home and visiting people.
All this kept me away from the blog. I will try and post the various sweets and savories I made for Diwali in the coming weeks.
This is one of the favorite curry preparation. It tastes good with Dosa or Rice.

Onion - 1 (Medium,chopped)

Method
Clean the yam and wash it nicely. Cut them into slices of 3 inches.

Notes
- The yam should be completely cooked.
- Do not mash the Yam completely. Just mash it roughly.
- If you have a mud pot, use it for this recipe as it will taste amazing.
- Adding a tiny bit of tamarind in the water in which yam is cooked will remove the biting tendency of yam.
