Enjoy the delightful flavors of Instant Elephant Foot Yam Puzhuku, a traditional dish made from fresh yam, salt, and a touch of coconut. This quick and easy recipe provides a wonderful opportunity to savor the essence of this South Indian delicacy without any hassle.
Ingredients:
- ½ kg Elephant Foot Yam
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Coconut
Preparation:
Begin by peeling the skin off the Elephant Foot Yam. For your comfort, it’s advisable to wear gloves while handling the yam to avoid any itchiness. Thoroughly wash the yam to remove any dirt or residue. Proceed to cut the yam into slices, following the illustration for guidance.
Place the yam slices in a pressure cooker. Add the salt and water to the cooker. Seal the cooker and cook the yam for 5 to 6 whistles. If your yam is fresh and recently harvested, requiring a shorter cooking time, 2 to 3 whistles should suffice. In case the yam was picked when its leaves were still green, it will cook even faster. After cooking, turn off the stove and let the pressure inside the cooker subside for 5 to 10 minutes.
Once the pressure has been released, open the cooker carefully. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked yam pieces to a plate, draining any excess water. Your Elephant Foot Yam is now ready to be served.
Indulge in the scrumptiousness of Instant Elephant Foot Yam Puzhuku – a culinary journey that encapsulates the flavors of South India. With its simple preparation and distinct taste, this dish is best savored when accompanied by a generous sprinkling of coconut and a serving of instant onion pickle. Delight in the authentic flavors of this traditional delicacy, perfectly combining the hearty texture of yam with the refreshing touch of coconut.
