This cures Piles. This can cause itchy feeling in the tongue. When you buy it from Indian stores, check and make sure that the yam is not soft.

Cut them into two. Use the water that you got from rinsing the rice and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
Then, in a pan add 1-2 tbsp of oil, mustard seeds, some curry leaves. Once they start splattering, add 1-2 chopped green chillies, 1/2 tbsp of turmeric and add the cooked &mashed yam. Add 1 glass of water and mix well.

All this will mix and start boiling. Add salt and mix well. After switching off the stove, add lemon juice of 1 full lemon.

Goes well with Vathakuzhambu rice.
