#masterchef - As the name implies, this yummy dish resembles a flower. It's absolutely easy and simple to prepare this steamed delicacy. In this recipe I have made use of elephant yam, but you can also prepare it with any vegetables or mixed veggies. Some corn flour / breadcrumbs can be added if desired. It is a great festive recipe that can be enjoyed with your loved ones as an appetizer with some sauce or chutney a la Indian style.
