Malanga (Pidalu) Curry Recipe!!

I love Malanga cooked with Gundruk!! However, I finished my small packet when I made the Gundruk Bhatmas Sadeko (Recipe Here). So, today I tried making Malanga without it. I love Malanga because it becomes gravy very easily and requires no effort while cooking. But one should be very careful when dealing with this vegetable because it can irritate your throat really bad. To stay on the safer side, I always either boil or microwave and cook it afterwards in a curry form. This way you don't have to worry about any throat issues it might cause. OK, let's get started :)
