Here is a spicy preparation of yam, which goes well with rice and bland gravies like more kuzhambu. The scintillating blend of spices used in this curry is sure to tickle your taste buds and leave you asking for more! in tamilnadu, they often say that this curry is so aromatic that the neighbour will know if you are cooking it right!

I kept wondering about the curry powder preparation. Nowhere it is mentioned that it needs to be made into a powder except as the name suggests. Also, could not find, how much is a cupful. As we don''t eat very spicy food, couldn''t make it so spicy. I had never cooked anything with yam before. Hence, it was surely helpful to have a recipe in hand. But surely not a recipe to wait for or look forward to.
