Yam Curry
Yam curry is a flavorful, hearty dish featuring yam (suran/elephant foot yam or other varieties) simmered in a spiced gravy. It is a popular, nutritious, and comforting dish, commonly enjoyed in various Indian cuisines (especially in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Bengal) as well as in Nepal. The yam itself is a nutrient-rich, starchy tuber that often has a texture resembling fish when cooked, making it a popular choice for vegetarian “mock fish” curries.
It pairs best with steaming rice, roti, or chapati.
