Jimikand (Yam) ki Sabzi

Jimikand or Yam also known as Suran in marathi is an all season vegetable. I am sure if you just go by its look you may not feel like eating it. But if cooked properly it can even beat a paneer. In fact many people use this as a substitute for paneer.

In this recipe i have boiled the yam pieces in salt and lemon juice. This process helps the salt and lemon to be absorbed properly and also removes the bitterness if any.
