Y – Roasted Curried Yam

 Roasted Curried Yam

Yams are edible root vegetables that are originated in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. It is often mistaken for sweet potatoes. But the yam is sweet and starchier. Yams are packed with vitamins, minerals, and good fiber. It is called Suran in Hindi. It is a very tough vegetable to cut.
A yam can be curried, fried, or stewed with other ingredients to make a vegetable. I decided to a roasted curried yam, the seasoning is smoky and savory and so delicious. It is easy to cook up in 30 minutes.
