Other months like November and February can be considered as Fall if so. Winter was marked by the vegetable we used to get then. One of the famous, at least famous in my family was Koorkan Kizhangu. This is a root vegetable similar to potatoes and its size was small more like baby potatoes even smaller. Would be dark in color and...
