Deepa,...Preety, thanks! I am so glad you liked it.<br /><br />Deepa, you might get the real artichokes canned or frozen. Even in US, fresh artichokes are only available in springtime, otherwise its usually just canned or frozen. Sunchokes might be a bit more difficult to find though.<br /><br />Jagruti, thanks!

Actually I saw this vegetable in the farmers market when I was in LA and i remember they said different name for this but anyways the dish looks too tempting and i can feel the crunchiness in it. Wonderful PJ... I am jealous of u that ur enjoying farmers market near by you(hey just kidding). Whenever I visit ur space, I badly miss the market.
