Kandagadda Pachadi ~ Yam (Suran) Chutney

K for Kandagadd apachadi under regional cuisine for BM #32. 
I have never cooked with yam at home, though I enjoyed some very good dishes with it in my childhood. I tasted Kandagadda pachadi about a decade back in a family function and I remember there was a great discussion regarding this pachadi.

It turned out that the pachadi was a specialty made by the head of the household and he was very enthusiastically explaining the procedure to anyone who was interested. I think I remember what he said and I have tried to replicate the taste and from what my husband says it is very close to what we ate then! 

Ingredients - 

Kandagadda /Suran /Yam peeled, chopped 1 1/2 cups (I used a 7 oz frozen pack)
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Salt as needed
Tamarind extract 2-3 Tbsp or as needed
Dhania / Coriander seeds 1 tsp
Jeera 1/2 tsp
Methi Seeds a pinch
Dry Red Chillies 5-6 (or to taste)
Oil 2 Tbsp
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Mustard Seeds 1/2 tsp, Asafoetida a couple pinches, Curry leaves few)


Kandagadda Pachadi ~ Yam (Suran) Chutney

Method Of Preparation -

In a heated pan, add 2 tablespoon of oil and fry the yam until the raw smell goes they are fried well. It took me about 15 min on medium heat.

Remove from fire and transfer to a plate and set aside. In the same heated pan, dry roast coriander seeds, cumin, methi seeds and red chilles one after the other and set aside.

After the fried yam is cold enough to handle, add the roasted coriander seeds, cumin seeds, methi seeds and red chillies along with the fried yam and grind into a fine paste adding salt and tamarind extract as needed. Take care not to add water. Transfer into a serving bowl.

Prepare the seasoning by heating oil and adding mustard seeds, chana dal, urad dal, asafoetida, red chilies and curry leaves. Pour the prepared seasoning onto the ground chutney.

Serve with rice with a dollop of ghee and surprise your guests!
