How to make Karunai Kizhangu Masiyal Kuzhambu?
Wash the yam well and remove all the dirts. Pressure cook it to 4 whistles. After getting cooled down peel off the skin and cut into small pieces with hand or mash them well roughly and keep aside.
Add some water and grind the coconut to paste and keep aside.
Heat a kadai and boil the tamarind juice with turmeric powder and salt. Add the mashed vegetable, green chillies and ginger to it. Let them to boil well till the tamarind juice becomes half in quantity.

Note: Since we love to taste the small pieces of yam boiled in tangy gravy I usually don't mash them. Instead I cut them to small pieces and add. It gets the name masiyal since the boiled Yam is mashed and added to the gravy.
