Karunaikizhangu Masial/ Mashed Yam Stir Fry

Karunaikizhangu is known as Yam ordinary in English. This is a very good medicine for piles. This Karunaikizhangu Masial can be made to serve with Dhal and rice. Being my hubby's favourite dish, I learned this from my MIL who makes it very well. This is also easy to make and the procedure is as follows.
