Preparation
  • Boil the yams in pressure cooker (3 whistles) or microwave (for 15 mins). Set aside to cool
  • Once the yams cool down, peel the skin and mash them using a spatula
  • Heat oil in a kadai. Add mustard seeds, split urad dal, chana dal, jeera and saute for 30 secs
  • Add curry leaves and saute for 10 secs
  • Add the mashed yam and salt. S for 1 min

@ Anu - If inippu kizhangu means karna kizhangu, yes. Also, if this is what is referred to as masiyal (we call it podi-maas) at home... then you are correct.

I have also posted Yam Masiyal - check that out too.
