KACHIL HUMMAN

Kachil is otherwise called as Kavathu or Yam Retalu. This is a root vegetable which  is highly rich in carbohydrates. It is not seen everywhere but available most of the time in Kerala. There most of the people grown this veggie in their backyard.
My mom got this veggie at one malayale shop and I was lucky enough to have this simple delicious curry during my vacation time in Mumbai.While preparing this curry, my mom used to add freshly coarsed chilly powder which really tastes yum. Its goes well with Kanji or normal steamed rice.

NOTE: Addition of green chilly makes the oil cools down a bit and also prevent burning of chilly powder.


INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Diced Kachil

1 tbsp Coconut oil

1 Green chilly.

2 tsp Homemade Chilly powder

Pinch of Hing

METHOD

Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds followed by green chilly and chilly powder. Add kachil pieces and adequate amount of water. Bring it to boil and let it cook under low flame. Once its gets cooked add salt and hing. Mix well and serve hot.

ENJOY!!
