Those who love fish fry will surely enjoy this though nothing can really substitute the real taste of fish. This fry is a good choice when we are not able to get any non veg but feel like having something spicy and tasty during weekends. My children love this and I will make this often. Moreover Yam is said to be very good for people suffering from piles and all Ayurvedic doctors recommend this as a cure for bleeding piles. I know there are many varieties of Yam available in the market. So to make it clear I have taken the picture of the Yam and shown (I have to wait for a week to get the full yam)

Yam-1/4 kg (Cut like finger chips pieces)
Oil-2 table spoons
Ingredients for the masal
Garlic-7 to 8 pods
Fennel seeds-1 teaspoon
Pepper-1 teaspoon
Chili powder- 1 table spoon
Turmeric powder-1 teaspoon
Salt-1 table spoon
Procedure
Cook the Yam pieces in a kadai for 5 to 6 minutes (till they are 3/4th cooked) Drain the water and keep it to cool. Mean time grind the ingredients given for masal in the small jar with just enough water. Marinate the yam pieces with the masal for 5 minutes. Keep the kadai in the stove and in 2 tablespoons of oil season the fry with a teaspoon of mustard seed and fennel seed and little curry leaf. Add the yam pieces and fry nicely without stirring much. Too much of stirring will make the pieces break. (Be sure that the pieces are not cooked too much in the beginning).When the pieces get roasted oil will separate Remove the pieces alone and discard the excess oil. This fry will be yummy with Rasam rice as well as curd rice
