Pidi
Karunai Kizhangu belongs to the Yam family. It is usually confused with the
cheppankizhangu [Taro root] which looks similar to Pidi Karunai Kizhangu. In Tamil
“Pidi” means fistful, the pidi kizhangu usually fits in our palm and is bigger
than taro root. Pidi Kizhangu usually causes some itchy feeling in the throat,
so to prevent that, it is advisable to add some tamarind extract or lemon juice
to the kizhangu when cooking it. Do try out this Pidi Karunai Kizhangu Fry and
