Note:

When you buy this Seppankizhangu choose the ones which are almost spherical,  instead of the ones that are broad at the bottom with thinner tops.

This root vegetable becomes very sticky if over cooked. It comes out very well if boiled in the steamer basket of the rice cooker. If you are cooking in pressure cooker just 2 whistles are enough. Before boiling wash them well to remove the soil. After boiling don't wash them in cold water. Allow them to cool and then peel off the skin.
