Koorka is very common in Kerala and different kinds of dishes are made with this. Koorka is one of my favorite root vegetable. It is kind of like potato but has a very distinctive taste and aroma. Koorka with beef is another traditional dish common among Catholics in Kerala. This dish is a very simple saute of Koorka with onions and garlic. Since fresh Koorka is very hard to get here I have used frozen Koorka. Makes a good side dish to serve with rice and curries.
