YAM KOORAM

INGREDIENTS

200 gms Yam washed and diced
1 cup tomato puree
1 onion chopped
2 tsp ginger garlic green chilli paste
Few curry leaves
1 cup curd 
Spices : red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, garam masala
1 tsp kasuri methi
A small bunch of fresh coriander washed and chopped.


METHOD

1. Deep fry the diced yam pieces till they turn pink and drain away the excess oil on a kitchen towel. Poke them with a fork. This would help them soak the gravy well enough.
2. In a skillet, heat a tbsp oil, add cumin, curry leaves, chopped onion. Cook till they turn translucent.
3. Now add the ginger garlic green chilli paste and cook till the onions turn golden.
4. Now add the tomato puree. Cook till its water evaporates.
5. Beat the curd till smooth and add it to the curry.
6. Now add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, a little garam masala. Add the Yam pieces and cook till the oil separates.
7. Garnish with coriander and kasuri methi.
8. Cover it for 10 mins and mix well before serving.

This makes the curry look and taste very much like a panner curry attracting the kids. My daughter loves it. Absolutely mouth watering.
