Guess my first time to your blog,u have a nice out here.Never heard abt taro root pakoda....sounds interesting.Lovely recipe...bookmarked.Thanks for sharing!
naanu omme taro root tande market inda, adu sippe thegeda mele, thurisoke shuru aithu. The itching was very bad, so threw the whole taro roots. Do you have any tips to avoid itching? I have tasted this pakoda once in a village near, Udupi, in my distant relatives place. It tasted yummy.

Actually for some people if they cut/grate the wet taro roots, Yams(Suvarnagadde) it starts itching. To avoid this, after peeling, wash them and dry them using kitchen towel.
@Sushma,
One more input I got from my MIL:
Apply little amount of oil to both the hands and after chopping/grating the taro roots, wash the hands in sour buttermilk / tamarind juice or put the hands in hot water for about 3-4 mins.
