Dear All This climber (in photo) was originally wild. Now cultivated by me in my fields. This is called as Shatavar, We usually prepare its(from storage roots)Laddu by adding it with Khoya and Desl Khand (a type of locally made Sugar). These are considered as very nutritious and a brain tonic. This sp is now rare in haryana due to Eucalyptus and Prosopis plantation in Govt/Panchayat Lands. I am seeing from Childhood this sp is generally grow along with Withania somnifera and Capparis aphylla
