SENNAI KIZHANGHU CURRY | YAM CURRY RECIPE

01.56 |

Yam | Sennai kizhangu |Elephant foot , is one among my favorite vegetable but unfortunately my kids and Suresh doesn't like this much and hence i don't make this at home. I have already posted a recipe of Yam Tawa Fry. Last week during my stay at my mom's place one of our childhood friend came to meet me and me, my friend and my sister had a super fun time, remembering our childhood memories. During our chatting session we were talking about the yam curry which my friend's mom used to make for us. We decided to make it the next day as my sister was also a big fan of yam and her kids and hubby were not!! Amma cooked for the meal and my sister made this yam curry and of course i assisted her by clicking pictures to share with you all.
Stay tuned for more interesting recipes.
