Receta Kachil Puzhungiyathu / Pacha Mulaku Chammanthy

Kachil or Greater Yam is in season now. Kachil puzhungiyathu is boiled yam and is a popular traditional and healthy food which can be cooked without any oil, but sadly not so popular with the younger generation. I like to dig deep into and bring out traditional Kerala food which was very popular until some years ago.

My kids do not favor these traditional ones, but Homey and myself love them and another favorite is kappa puzhungiyathu I am sure most Keralites love kappa/tapioca and kachil is almost similar to kappa in taste. We like to have hot boiled yam with green chilly chutney otherwise known as "pacha mulaku chammanthy"...these days kanthari mulaku or piri piri chilies are rarely found, so I made with green chilies though…
