  3. Add the chopped green chillies, ginger, garlic, and Hing/Asafoetida, sautéing for a few seconds.
  4. Add the Rajah Ground Turmeric and sauté for another few seconds.
  5. Drain the chopped yams and add them to the pan with a pinch of salt and mix well.
  6. Continue to cook the yams for 15-20 minutes with the lid on, stirring every few minutes to ensure they don’t begin to stick or burn.
  7. When the yams are soft and almost completely cooked, add a tablespoon of water to the pan and stir in.
  8. Top with chopped fresh coriander to serve.
  9. Serve with Elephant Atta Methi Parathas.
