Elephant Yam Stir Fry / Senai Sundal is my recent addiction. Can be served as a sundal as well. To make yam stir fry yam is cooked until soft. Then it is seasoned. My choice is tampering the seasoning in Coconut oil which gives a unique taste. It can be served as a sundal or can be had as a side dish with Rice and any gravy. Yam gives out a cooling effect to the body and it is said to reduce hypertension. Yam is also safe to be consumed by diabetic people. Powerful antioxidents and Vitamin C is available which helps is delaying
