Ah, perhaps it is the tempering in ghee that makes grated purple yam with roasted peanuts so irresistible, or the crunchily crushed roasted peanuts. Whatever the reason, the fact is that this is a real masterpiece that will delight the desi palate. Make sure you cook it till it is brown on both sides, and serve hot and fresh to retain the texture.
