Method

1 Peel & Wash the Yam and pressure cook it.

2 Heat the oil in a wok, add Coriander seeds, fry the chopped onion till lightly golden, add Turmeric, red chillies, the ginger garlic paste and saute it untill the raw smell goes away.

3 Add freshly grated coconut, chopped tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes. (Skip this step if using kokum) Let the mixture cool.

5 Slice the cooked Yam into thick pieces (similar to size of fish pieces)

6 Lightly fry the pieces in a pan. Set aside

7 Blend the cooled mixture in the wok to a smooth paste with 2 tbsp of water

8 Heat 2 tbsp oil in another wok, add Turmeric and Red chilli powder, stir it. Add Ginger Garlic paste

9 Now add the ground mixture and garam masala, fry for 2-3 minutes.

10 Add Kokum juice now (if using). Add 2 cups of water to make the gravy. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil until oil separates and gravy is formed

11 Check the salt, spice and sour levels; once you adjust this to your taste, add the cooked Yam pieces to the gravy and let it cook on slow flame for 10 minutes to absorb the gravy.
