Grated Yam / Suran Curry
Yam (elephant’s foot) or Suran is a vegetable which goes off as veg meat. As a kid, mom used to always pass off Soya chunks and Yam as meat to us.
Suran is full of health benefits and hence needs to be a part of regular diet. It is similar to a sweet potato but much larger and very different in taste. It has health benefits for skin, hair etc. I will leave the technicalities of the healthiness to the doctors. Let’s enjoy what the veggie gives us the most is a unique flavour which blends and still stands apart from the mix it is in.
We use suran in a multiple variety of ways, we make cubes or grate or mince it to make a curry. We slice it to make chips or cut it into the shape of French fries and fry them. Yam goes well in a mix of veggies and specifically with green peas and potatoes.
Here I share a recipe of Grated Yam (almost mince) with potatoes. This was a very common dish I used to carry to office sometime back. Chitra reminded me of the same a few days back on facebook and thought would write about the same.
