I've already posted a recipe with yam/chena kilangu and this is just another variation.
INGREDIENTS
Chena kilangu/ Yam - 250 gms
Sambhar pwd - 2 tbsp
Turmeric pwd - a pinch
Salt to taste
Oil - 2
METHOD
Cut the yam into small cubes.
Boil them in water with required salt and turmeric till its cooked about 70% (it should not get too soft or mashed)
Drain the water and cool the yam cubes (it should dry completely)
In a pan add oil, yam cubes, sambhar pwd (you can use plain chili pwd too, in that case reduce the quantity to 1 tbsp) and salt.
Toss it and cook till crisp.
This dish goes well with sambhar sadham/rice, curd rice or as an evening snack all by itself.
NOTE
Yam should not be cooked completely while boiling.
A few curry leaves can be added while frying to enhance the flavour.
