It is the tuber of cultivated Dioscorea sp. In south also it is available. Usually during winter it will be uprooted, the skin is scrapped carefully ( because it causes itching) then cooked, the milky white tuber slices will be very tasty, some people add sugar, milk and ghee to it. About 4 cultivars are available.
