Description
Yam is consumed as in stir fries, curries as well as in making crispy wafers. Chettinad style Senai is a popular home style dish in Southern India. This plant is given its name because it is quite large and resembles the foot of an elephant. Much of the elephant foot yam can be eaten. When the leaves of the plant wither and die, the corm, or tuber, can be dug up and eaten. Usually it is cooked and eaten as a vegetable, and in many places it is smashed with salt and eaten with rice.
