Frequently Asked Questions
Why do recipes add tamarind or lemon when cooking suran?
Yam can sometimes cause a scratchy feeling in the throat, and a souring agent like tamarind or kokum is traditionally added during boiling to help balance that.
Do I need to thaw the suran before cooking?
Not necessarily. You can boil or steam it straight from frozen, which also keeps the pieces from breaking.
Can I use this in a fasting recipe?
Suran is eaten during some vrat traditions, but practices vary by family, so follow your own custom.
