Karunai Kizhangu Roast |
TIP 1
1. Pressure cooking yam makes sure that the yam is evenly cooked. I usually make the yam as chunks of 1/2 inch thickness.
TIP 2
2. Instead of tamarind paste you can add lemon juice/ tomato ketchup/ any fish fry masala powder.
TIP 3
3. This recipe does not give fully crispy yam roast but partially if you want to be too crisp then you can add more rice flour or pat the batter coated yam in roasted semolina and fry.
