ABOUT Shevala Kolabi Bhaji/ Dragon stalk yam and Prawns curry RECIPE

Shevala is a seasonal wild vegetable of suran family which you get in kokan during monsoon season. The stalks of the vegetables are used to make curry after removing the outer coat and pollen part. This vegetable has itchy properties, hence you need to use green leaves which you get along with the bunch or green fruits (kakada) to remove the itchy sensation. This vegetable is made with prawns, chicken or cluster beans. Believe me, It is one of the exotic monsoon delicacies here in kokan.
