Suran Vada

 Yam/Suran/Jimikand/Ol is an underground tuber vegetable that is planted during spring and harvested by the end of autumn. It takes around 1 -2 years to grow. There are a lot variety among yams. This is the Indian Variety, commonly known as Suran, Jimikand or Ol, It resembles the texture of a potato, indeed much more flavorful. The one that I am using does not have the itchy characteristic, but some wild yam varieties do tend to irritate the throat a lot, to remove this, boil the yams in an acidic solution, either lemon juice, tomato, vinegar. The flavour is absolutely delicious, the vada that is prepared can be easily slid into a pav and enjoyed as an afternoon snacks.
