Senai Karamani Kulambhu/Yam and Black eyed Peas in Tamarind Sauce



For this month cook book challenge,I tried a recipe from a magazine print out.This print out was taken in 2004 and I found out while cleaning the clutters.
Coming to the recipe its a mix of both karakulambhu and masala kulambhu with slight tangy taste.We normally use the yam(senai) for fry but never tried in kulambhu varieties.For the first time I tried and it came out super yummy.Here I used the frozen pieces,if you are using fresh one,chop and cook it separately in tamarind water.Off to the recipe...............................
