Koorka, or Chinese potato, is a knobby, earthy-tasting root vegetable with a dense, starchy texture, popular in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine. It is nutritious, rich in fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, and commonly used in curries, fries, and stews. Its muddy skin requires proper cleaning and peeling, but it has a unique flavor that becomes creamy when cooked.
