I don't know how exactly people call this in English...I think its called elephant yam .Its smaller in size like potatoes...Here's the picture...
This kizhangu have a tendency to give you a itchy feeling in your tongue,when eaten.But proper cooking removes that tendency...My mother,MIL says...buy this and keep it for @least 2 weeks before cooking,which also helps.When we are cooking , we have to use correct proportion of lemon juice/tamarind extract.
But its very good for our health...like its good for curing loss of appetite,bleeding piles,constipation....So here's the recipe.
