Easily peel Koorkankizhangu / chinese potato / siru kizhangu

Today blessing of God came on right time!

Koorkan kizhangu (siru kizhangu in tamil, chinese potato in english) is a yummy root vegetable which hits the market during winter season. I had last batch in kitchen store so decided to make it today.

Sometimes feeling lethargic and looking for shortcuts do turn a boon like how it happened to me today. Koorkan kizhangu (chinese potato) is a yummy root vegetable. It gives out a nice flavour to the dishes it is added too especially in molakootal. Mezhukupiratti (roast) tastes awesome. But felt cleaning them was a great task only till yesterday. Today i noticed some koorkankizhangu lying in the tray. put them into a bowl, washed them twice and pressure cooked it. voila! i could peel it so easily like our boiled potato without staining my hands! enjoyed a nice mezhukupiratti (mezhukuvarati) for lunch.

[Now sadly remembering the days when ladies and girls of a household used to peel them laboriously by rubbing them on rough stone surface......staining our hands.... ]

Here is a nice roast recipe (mezhukupiratti) using this yummy vegetable.
