Had me drooling, recalling the cheppankizhangu dishes that mom makes.
The last time I was in India, I went to Mysore for a couple of days to cool down--Madras was hot like how Madras is supposed to be in July.
In Mysore, I went to the lunch buffet at--I forget the hotel's name now--primarily because the tour book had recommended it. The lunch was great--the tour book was on the money. One of the items was a cheppankizhangu dish. It was not a fry, but had ginger and black pepper .... which was awesome. I went for seconds and ate a plate full of nothing but this :)
I wish I could recall that hotel's name. (Update: tracked it down: it is the Metropole)
In case you are not aware of this root-tuber (?) well, the photo below shows how it looks before it is all cooked and ready for salivating people like me :)
