Elephant Yam (Suran) Fry | Roasted Yam Recipe

April 3, 2016

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This life is some kind of crazy. It seems so much complicated, busy and hard at times. All of a sudden it seems dark clouds have covered the sky of our life making everything invisible. It’s so painful, but this is until the clouds swing back and silver line shows up.


It was yesterday, when icy hands of death have snatched away precious life of my close cousin with whom many of my memories are closely interwoven. It was a sad demise which left the family in a heartbreaking sorrow. The fact is hard to digest yet. Though he has disappeared from physical world,  in all our memories he is still ALIVE. May his soul rest in peace.

Elephant Yam Fry | Roasted Yam Recipe

Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Total Time35 minutes mins
Servings: 20 -25
Author: Sumana

Ingredients

  • Elephant yam- 250 gm
  • Sambar powder- 5 tsp
  • Rice powder- 5 tsp
  • Tamarind- Small marble sized
  • Salt- 1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
  • Cooking oil- Enough to shallow fry

Instructions

Preparation

  • Soak tamarind in 1/4 cup of water for about 15 minutes and extract thick tamarind juice discarding the residue.

Method

  • Peel off the elephant yam and chop it in to thin slices of medium size. Take the slices in a vessel and add water to the immersing level. Add 1/2 tsp of salt and cook it halfway. Meaning the elephant yam slices shouldn't be cooked till soft.
  • When the slices are getting cooked, take rice powder, sambar powder, salt and turmeric in bowl. Give a quick mix.
  • Next include tamarind juice and mix like a paste. It should be of dosa batter consistency neither too thin nor too thick.
  • Heat a griddle smearing some oil, then dip the cooked elephant yam slice in the spice paste and shallow fry over griddle. Roast a batch of slices over medium flame and turn over to cook the other side too. Remove from griddle once done.
  • Repeat this process till you finish all the elephant yam slices. Elephant yam fry is ready to serve as side with rice-rasam combo.

Notes

  • The elephant yam slices should be neither too thick nor too thin. If thin, the slices will break easily. On the other hand if thick, it gets under-cooked.
  • When you cook the slices in water, ensure it's only half cooked. Because these slices would have to be cooked once again over griddle with spice coating.
  • You can even taste the spice paste and adjust accordingly before initiating the shallow fry.
