Senaikilangu/Elephant Yam Fry -Vegan Thursday
Senaikilangu fry is one my family's favorite and I make it very often and pair up with a simple rasam or sambar.Here in U.S fresh yam is rarely available and it will be very expensive so I make it with the frozen one.This yam makes a itchy feel in the tongue so to reduce that one soak the chopped yam in tamarind water or add little bit of tamarind paste and fry.Now on to the recipe.................
