JICAMA FRIES

Jicama Fries or Chips are crispy and addictive, irresistibly delicious fries that are a very good alternative to traditional french fries. This is vegan and gluten free.

And after browsing online I found some names for this in India mishrikand, shankhalu, kesaur. You can check more about this on Wikipedia
