Onion - 2 nos (medium sized)
Tomato - 2 nos (medium sized)
Cinnamon stick - 2
Ginger, garlic paste - 1 tsp
Red chilly powder - 2tsps ( This was mentioned in the recipe but I did not use this)
Green chillies - 2 nos
Mustard seeds - 1tsp
Fennel seeds - 1 tsp
Coconut milk - 1 cup (approx 150ml)
Turmeric powder - A pinch
Salt to taste
Asafoetida - A pinch

Procedure :

Cut the yam into small pieces, add turmeric powder, salt, asafoetida, red chilly powder (if needed) and pressure cook it (6-7 whistles on high flame)
Heat oil in a pan, add turmeric powder
Saute mustard seeds, fennel seeds, cinnamon sticks, green chillies, ginger garlic paste
Add salt
Add onions and fry till the color changes to pink
Add tomatoes and fry for about 5mts
Now add the cooked yam and cook till the contents get blended
Finally add the coconut milk and cook for 5mts

This can be served with steamed white rice / plain paranthas. I tried both and it tasted really yummy
