YAM PICKLE
Hi friends. Today I’ll show you how to make a simple yet very tasty recipe of a pickle made from yam, a root vegetable of India. It’s a delicacy and sought after pickle recipe of my native place, Bihar. We are Maithili Brahmins and this recipe has its origin in our community. It’s as good a pickle as it is a vegetable. You can serve it with stuffed paranthas, chapatis, rice, dal, curries and the like. It tastes better than mango pickle too. So let’s start and know the process of making it—
