elephant yam fry recipe /senai /karunai kizhangu varuval

This elephant yam fry recipe is an excellent crowd pulling side dish that goes very well with any SouthIndian meal. It can be deep fried or even shallow fried and you will definitely love the spicy aromatic fry for sure. Sometimes the itchiness while cutting the vegetable is there and for that the small tip is that you can always wash the vegetable only after cutting. I personally feel this prevents itchiness. Cut kilangu into thin slices if you want it to be crispy. Another tip is that if the yam is fresh don’t use it immediately use it after some days even after a week will be good(if properly stored)! by this the vegetable will be even more tasty. I have not added any flour for binding here you can very well add it. You can use cornflour,maida even rice flour can be used for crispiness. For this elephant yam fry recipe don’t cook the vegetable fully it should be only three fourth cooked. Its an excellent tasty dish to try at the same time its not at all a tough dish to make. A simple curd rice will do for me to enjoy this crispy elephant yam fry recipe
