Peel and cut the yam into 25 mm. (1") squares about 6. 5 mm. (¼") thick. You will get approx. 40 pieces.
Steam the purple yam pieces in a steamer for 15 to 20 minutes or till they are cooked.
Rub the yam pieces with a little salt and keep aside.
Place a purple yam piece on a flat, dry surface, spread little stuffing evenly over it and sandwich using another slice of purple yam.
Repeat with the remaining yam slices and stuffing to make 19 more dabadas.
Grease the baking tray with oil and arrange the dabadas on it.

Remove from the oven and serve hot.
