    @PLK, mathi has answered you about samai. Koorkan kizhangu I bought from shop without knowing what it was. I am trying to incorporate more veggies nowdays instead of the usual few veggies we buy routinely and just picked it. Then when I asked my mom about it, she explained about different types of kizhangus - karunai kizhangu, senai kizhangu (yam), seppakizhangu (Arbi) and this one. Except karunai kizhangu all of them taste well if roasted. For karunai kizhangu my mom used to make only tamarind based gravy.

    Some tips she gave me for buying/cooking these varieties.

    1. Once you buy, leave it for 2-3 days atleast before cooking. No need to keep in fridge. If eaten fresh, it may cause itchy sensation in mouth and also in hands while cleaning/cooking. In case if you feel a tingling/itchy sensation while cutting apply coconut oil to your hands, rub well and wash.

    2. While cooking them (even for fry), add a pinch of tamarind in water. Not sure why this has to be done. May be it removes/balances the stuff that causes itchiness.

    I tried both yam and this one using the above tips and it was fine. I boiled it for 2 whistles, removed skin, coated with ground masala (chilli, powder, dhania power, fennel seeds, ginger, garlic) and 1tsp corn flour and roasted it in a pan.

    @chillbreeze: My mom makes something called as Masiyal with lots of small onions and tamarind pulp. they taste great when you make with gingelly oil. Again all of these yam varieties need to be cooked with tamarind pulp to avoid the itchiness.
