   • Begin by peeling and chopping the yam into small, bite-sized pieces.
   • Place the chopped yam in a pressure cooker with enough water to cover it. Close the lid and cook for 4 whistles (or until the yam is tender). Once done, turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.

2. Cooking the Sabzi:

   • In a pan (kadhai), heat oil on medium flame.
   • Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for about 10 seconds.
   • Once the cumin seeds have spluttered, add the cooked yam pieces to the pan and mix gently.

3. Adding Spices and Yogurt:

   • Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and amchur powder to the yam. Stir well to coat the yam with the spices.
   • Reduce the heat and add the yogurt. Stir continuously to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
   • Add a little water to adjust the consistency of the gravy and mix everything together.

4. Simmer:

   • Let the sabzi cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend well. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.

5. Garnish and Serve:

   • Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
   • Serve hot with Panchmel Dal (a traditional lentil dish) and Phulkas (Indian flatbread) for a complete meal.

Tips and Variations:

• Yam Cooking Tip: If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can boil the yam in a pot with enough water until tender, but it will take longer.
• Spice Adjustments: Feel free to adjust the level of red chili powder and garam masala to suit your spice preferences.
• Vegan Option: For a vegan version, replace the yogurt with coconut yogurt or cashew-based yogurt.

This hearty and flavorful Dahi Suran Ki Sabzi makes for a wholesome and nutritious dish that’s perfect for family lunches or dinners. The mild tanginess from yogurt and the slight earthiness of yam come together wonderfully with the array of spices, creating a delightful vegetarian delight.
