Elephant Yam Fry / Senai Kizhangu Poriyal


Elephant yam fry / senai kizhangu poriyal is my hubbys favourite recipe. But i make it very rarely because my son doesn't like it. Many poople doesn't like it as it gives a itchy feel in your tongue while eating. But when properly cooked, it can be eliminated. I made this recipe some more traditional and adapted the recipe to suit my taste buds.


Yam fry is goes well with all kinds of sambar and a best sidedish for lunch recipe... I made this last week and it is very very simple recipe and turns out great taste wise. I post senai kizhangu sambar also, check out Elephant yam (senai kizhangu ) sambar too....
