Didi, people say that these seeds are poisonous, root tubers are now selling at Rs.10 to 20 a kg,, as you may know would be in demand until Saraswati Puja.

Thank you

we serve it as one of the prasad at Saraswati puja in Bengal

children love it

crunchy semi sweet carb, i guess is the reason

i like it too in mexican style though... lemon salt and paprika power..its street finger food in most mexican cities...  posh restaurants serve it too, over there and in Texas.
