Senaikkizhangu kola urundai / yam balls

Written by: 7aumsuvai

Yam is considered as a healthy low-fat food and is a rich source of essential fatty acids (Omega-3 fatty acids) which are known to increase the good cholesterol levels in the blood. I prepared kola urundai with this healthy yam and it tasted awesome.
