Jimikand or Elephant Yam is more of a tropical vegetable and is grown in western and southern Indian states. Some people recommend its usage to help with diseases like asthma and bronchitis. The vegetable is available nearly all over; however, at the first look it may not look as appealing in its raw form. Once you make the vegetable, the appeal is totally different and it tastes yummy as well. It goes best with some paratha for any of the main meals. I prepared Jimikand Ki Sabzi fairly dry as is the accepted way and enjoyed it totally. If you too want to make this sabzi at home and try it out, follow this Jimikand Ki Sabzi Recipe and enjoy with your meals.
