Yam is one vegetable which i have never used or ate before my marriage. In my in-laws house its a custom to eat this vegetable on Diwali day however nobody use to like this.. So I also ate it for the sake like everybody else in the family but i loved the taste. Yam Kabab is my first prepration of yam which when i did for the first time was loved by the family. Here is how i made it to impress them as a newly wed bride...

▢
Boil half a liter of water with salt & tamarind. Add washed yam cubes into it & cook for 10 min on medium flame. Once done separate yam from water & keep it in strainer for 5-7 min to remove excess water.
▢
Tamarind is added in water because yam may cause itchiness when eaten without any tangy or sore thing added to it.
▢
Now mash boiled yam cubes & add rice flour, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, pomegranate powder,salt , green chili & onions.MIx well & keep in freezer for 20 min
▢
After freezing make small lemon size balls & press it to give a round shape or any desired shape.
▢
Heat a tawa or a pan . Shallow fry the kababs 2-3 min each side & serve with your favorite dip.

Notes

I got yam cubes from super market. But if you are cutting it at home always wash it thoroughly many times in water to remove all dirt & apply some oil in your hands before cutting it to avoid any itchiness.
You can make balls of above mixture deep fry & put it in some curry. it can be eaten as kofta curry.
