Suran ki sabzi- A delicious stir fry made with boiled Yam, yogurt and basic Indian spices

Suran ki sabzi-/Yam/Jimikand/Elephant foot yam /oal/ol/ole is an edible tuber and is totally different from tapioca and sweet potato. Though people  often confuse between the three. It is high on carbs and is a very good source of potassium, proteins, vitamins,fiber and antioxidants. Very high in omega 3 fatty acids.

Suran/yam has a cooling effect on the body, promotes digestion. Also good for heart health, have anti aging properties and has anti coagulating properties . Helps prevent the blood from clotting and it also increases estrogen levels in women.

But asthma, bronchitis , sinus patients should avoid or limit the intake of suran due to its cooling properties.

In North India specially In Uttar Pradesh its a ritual to  make Suran ki sabzi on Deepawali Festival .As it is considered auspicious for Laxmi Poojan . As yam is easily available throughout the year and is very reasonably priced, it’s a good idea to include it in our regular diet.

How To Peel And Clean Suran

To clean and chop yam – Before you start working apply oil on your knife and hands and then scrub the yam under running water . Don’t forget to grease your hands or wear gloves otherwise they may get itchy due to the yam’s skin. After chopping the suran either boil it immediately or soak in water with some salt and turmeric added else it will get oxidized and turn dark in colour.

Suran is quite a hard vegetable so to chop it easily and perfectly its better to first make 1 inch thick slices from the whole suran and then you can easily peel the slices and chop it into small pieces.

How To make Suran ki Sabzi

First of all boil the chopped suran pieces in enough water and then drain the water .This step ensures that the suran will not give you itching in your throat while eating the sabzi . Making sabzi from raw suran is not advised due to this same reason. Either you should boil or deep fry the suran before cooking.

As suran is quite blend in taste so a good amount of spices ,enough oil and a souring agent is needed to make it into a delicious curry .Addition of yogurt improves the texture and the taste.
